Salted Honey Pie is a delightful dessert harmonizing sweet and salty flavors, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (balances honey’s sweetness)
  • ¼ cup cornmeal (fine grind; almond flour can be a gluten-free alternative)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (enhances overall flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice (adds brightness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (infuses aromatic sweetness)
  • ½ cup honey (high-quality recommended)
  • 3 large eggs (acts as a binder)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (adds richness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and blind bake your pre-baked 9-inch pie crust for 12-15 minutes using weights. Let it cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, cornmeal, salt, vinegar, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each. Then pour in heavy cream and whisk until creamy and uniform.
  4. Pour filling into the pre-baked crust and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes until the center is set but jiggles slightly.
  5. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to firm up the filling.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance flavors. Serve with berries or whipped cream.

Notes

  • This pie can be made a day in advance.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
  • Garnish with fresh berries for a colorful presentation.
