Servings 10 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 Pie Crust- refrigerated or homemade
  • 4 large Egg yolks- lightly beaten
  • 2 ½ cups Heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup Light brown sugar- not packed
  • 1/3 cup Cornstarch- sifted
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Honey
  • 2 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • Sea salt- optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Start by preparing the pie crust. Place into an 8-inch pie dish and set in the refrigerator. Do not prebake the crust.
  • Add the egg yolks into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • To make the filling, pour the heavy cream, brown sugar, corn starch and salt into a medium saucepan.
  • Place over medium heat being sure to consistently stir until it reaches a rolling boil. The mixture should start to thicken at this time.
  • Once boiling, remove from the heat and begin to temper the eggs. Add in a spoon full of the cream mixture into the yolks and whisk. Repeat this a couple of times.
  • Add the remaining cream mixture and whisk until smooth.
  • Continue with adding the honey and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  • Pour the custard into the pie crust.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until browned on top. The pie will still be quite jiggly at this point.
  • Allow the pie to sit until it reaches room temperature. Once the pie has reached room temperature, place in the refrigerator to chill until fully set and firm.
  • Sprinkle sea salt over the pie and serve.
