Salted Honey Pie: The Ultimate 5-Ingredient Dessert That Will Amaze Your Guests

A sophisticated 5-ingredient dessert featuring silky honey custard filling balanced with flaky sea salt, baked in a golden pastry crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust,
  • ¾ cup high-quality honey,
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature,
  • ½ cup heavy cream,
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus extra for finishing,
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Ensure pie crust is completely pre-baked and cooled. Prepare hot water for water bath.
  • In a large bowl, gently whisk eggs until just combined. Slowly drizzle in warm honey while whisking continuously to prevent scrambling.
  • Add heavy cream, melted butter, and 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt. Whisk until completely smooth and homogeneous.
  • Strain filling through fine-mesh sieve directly into cooled pie shell to remove any lumps.
  • Place pie in larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water halfway up sides of pan for water bath.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes until center is just set but still slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
  • Remove from water bath and cool completely on wire rack. Sprinkle with additional flaky sea salt before serving.
