Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the base with a fork and blind bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.

  3. Slowly pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, gently folding until smooth.
  4. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 40-45 minutes until edges set but center jiggles slightly.
  5. Cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra honey. Add optional garnishes if desired.
