Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups honey
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for topping)
- 1 pre-made pie crust or homemade crust
- Optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan, combine honey, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Slowly pour the slightly cooled honey mixture into the eggs, whisking continuously to prevent curdling. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, stirring gently to incorporate all flavors thoroughly.
- Pour the entire filling into your prepared pie crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula for evenness. Sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top to intensify the salty-sweet contrast.
- Bake your salted honey pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden around the edges. A perfect salted honey pie should have a slight jiggle in the center but hold its shape when cooled.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. For added flavor, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt just before serving. Pair with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an enhanced dessert experience. Optional: serve with additional toppings or garnishes.
Notes
- Use high-quality honey and fresh cream for best flavor.
- Cool the filling slightly before pouring into the crust to prevent curdling.
- Sprinkle extra sea salt on top before baking for a more pronounced salty-sweet flavor.
- Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan version, substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives like coconut cream and vegan butter.
