Ingredients
  

For the Custard Filling
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Use full-fat for the best results.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Light brown sugar can be used if dark is unavailable.
  • 0.5 cup Honey Choose a high-quality honey for the best taste.
  • 4 large Egg Yolks Ensure they are well-beaten for a smooth consistency.
For the Pie Crust
  • 1 cup Butter Use unsalted butter for better control of saltiness.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt Enhances the sweet flavors of the pie.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pastry cutter
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cold unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then roll it out on a floured surface until it's about 1/8-inch thick.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork, line with parchment paper, and fill it with pie weights. Bake for about 20 minutes, then remove weights and parchment and return to bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
  3. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together heavy cream, brown sugar, honey, and egg yolks until well combined. Heat over medium, stirring constantly for 8-10 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Pour the custard filling into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth it evenly. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 35-40 minutes until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
  5. Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours. Before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top.
