Instructions

Prepare the pie crust in a deep dish 8-inch or 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the refrigerator.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together heavy cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat until it reaches a rolling boil and thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and temper the egg yolks by gradually adding hot cream mixture while whisking continuously until smooth.
Stir the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream, mixing in honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the custard into the chilled pie crust and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned on top.
Allow cooling to room temperature before refrigerating until fully chilled.
Before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
