Instructions

Prepare your pie crust by rolling it into an 8-inch or 9-inch pie pan and chill while making the filling.
In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat, stirring until thickened.
Remove from heat; temper egg yolks by whisking in small amounts of the hot cream mixture before combining them all back into the saucepan.
Stir in honey and vanilla extract until fully blended.
Pour the custard mixture into the chilled pie crust evenly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 40 minutes until golden brown around the edges.
Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
Top with flaky sea salt just before slicing.
