Ingredients
  

Custard Filling
  • 2.5 cups heavy cream Provides the custard base, adding richness and creaminess.
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar Adds sweetness and caramel notes; regular sugar can be used if you prefer.
  • 1/3 cup honey Enhances the flavor with natural sweetness and depth; agave syrup is a suitable substitute.
  • 4 large egg yolks Provides structure and richness; ensure at room temperature for better emulsification.
  • 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt Elevates the sweetness of the honey and adds a delightful contrasting flavor.
Crust
  • 1 flaky butter pie crust Feel free to use store-bought or homemade for an extra touch.

Equipment

  • 9-inch Pie Pan
  • Medium Saucepan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Roll out your flaky butter pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and pre-bake it at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and honey; heat until simmering (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Whisk egg yolks in a bowl, then gradually add the warm cream mixture to temper the yolks.
  4. Blend the tempered yolks with the cream mixture and pour into the pre-baked pie crust.
  5. Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  6. Let the pie cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, then sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before chilling.
