Ingredients
For the Filling

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crust

- to taste Sea salt Sprinkle on top for added flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, heat the honey over medium heat until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-8 minutes, then cool slightly.
Mixing the Filling
- In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Slowly whisk in the cooled honey to blend everything together.
Assembling and Baking
- Pour the honey mixture into the pre-made pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Cooling and Serving
- Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cool, sprinkle a little sea salt on top.
- Slice and serve your Burnt Honey Pie.
Notes
Keep an eye on the honey as it heats to avoid burning. A slightly jiggly center is normal; it will set as it cools. Avoid over-baking to prevent a tough texture.
