How to Serve Burnt Honey Pie

When it comes to serving this beauty, keep it simple. A slice of Burnt Honey Pie pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream.

Tips to Make Burnt Honey Pie

• Watch closely: The honey and sugar can go from caramelized to burnt quickly. Give it some love and keep stirring.
• Experiment: Try adding a hint of lemon zest or cardamom for an extra flavor kick. Who says we have to follow the rules?
• Pie crust: If you’re short on time, a store-bought crust is perfectly fine. Ain’t nobody got time for a homemade crust every time!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? You can swap out the honey for maple syrup! It’ll give you a completely different flavor profile, but just as tasty. Experimenting is the name of the game in baking!
