  2. Heat the Cream Mixture: Combine cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Heat until boiling, stirring constantly.
  3. Temper the Eggs: Ladle hot cream mixture into egg yolks while whisking to prevent curdling.

  5. Fill the Pie Crust: Pour custard mixture into chilled pie crust evenly.
  6. Bake the Pie: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until set.
  7. Cool and Set: Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until firm.
  8. Finish with Sea Salt: Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the pie before serving.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Slice into portions and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality honey for a rich flavor.
  • Make sure to let the pie cool completely before refrigerating to set properly.
  • The sea salt topping adds a gourmet touch, so don’t skip it!
