Burnt Honey Pie: The Most Luxurious Dessert You’ll Ever Make

A rich and caramelized custard pie made with deeply cooked honey, balanced with cream and butter for a silky smooth filling in a flaky pie crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust, pre-baked
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • 2. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook honey until it darkens slightly and smells caramelized, about 3–5 minutes.
  • 3. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar and melted butter until smooth.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, vanilla, and salt.
  • 5. Slowly whisk honey mixture into egg mixture to temper.
  • 6. Pour filling into pre-baked crust.
  • 7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until center is just set.
  • 8. Cool completely before slicing.
  • 9. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Watch honey closely while cooking—it burns quickly but that’s where the flavor comes from.
  • Pie can be made a day ahead and stored chilled.
  • Best served slightly warm or at room temperature.
