MILK AND HONEY PIE WITH CEREAL CRUST



Milk and Honey Pie With Cereal Crust image

This pie's crunchy toasted cornflake crust and honey-sweetened pudding may inspire new pie-centric breakfast routines, especially when topped with juicy plums. Feel free to play around with nectarines or peaches, too. Because cornflakes (and other not-too-sweet cereals) don't have as much fat and sugar as packaged cookies and crackers, they need more sugar and butter to bind them into a sturdy crust. The extra butter here can sometimes cause the crust to puff or shrink while it bakes. If that happens, don't worry: gently press the crust back into place while still warm with a flat bottomed measuring cup and proceed.

Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 ounces/170 grams cornflakes (about 5 cups)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
8 tablespoons/115 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
4 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
5 tablespoons/40 grams cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 cup/240 milliliters whole milk
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
1 pound/454 grams ripe plums, pitted and sliced
1 to 2 teaspoons honey (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Combine cornflakes, sugar and salt in a food processor and process until finely ground. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add butter and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
  • Transfer cornflake mixture to a standard 9-inch pie plate. Using the bottom of a flat-bottomed measuring cup, press the mixture up the sides and into the bottom of the pie plate. Bake on the middle rack until dry and deeper golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. (If the crust slumps or puffs while it bakes, gently press it back into place while still warm with the measuring cup and proceed.) Let cool completely.
  • Make the filling: Whisk the egg yolks, egg, honey, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and cream and place over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking continuously, until mixture thickens and starts to bubble, 4 to 7 minutes. Continue to cook, whisking continuously, for 1 minute more. Pour mixture into the cooled crust and spread in an even layer. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
  • To serve: Beat cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Dollop cream on top of pie, top with plums and drizzle with honey if desired.

Categories     Custard and Cream Pies

Time 3h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts, at room temperature
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon almond extract
⅔ cup honey
3 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 ⅓ cups heavy cream, divided
1 teaspoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) with a rack in the middle of the oven. Place a medium bowl in the freezer to chill.
  • Fit pie crust dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold edges under and crimp as desired. Place a piece of parchment paper onto the pie dough and fill with pie weights.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is just starting to set, about 18 minutes. Remove pie from oven, and remove parchment with beans from the pie. Set aside to cool slightly while preparing the filling. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Whisk together butter, 1/4 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, salt, and almond extract in a large bowl. Add honey and whisk until completely smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and whisk until each is completely incorporated before adding the next. Whisk in lemon juice and 2/3 cup heavy cream. Pour filling into pie crust, and place in the middle rack of the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and set, but still slightly jiggly in the center, about 1 hour, shielding pie with aluminum foil around 25 minutes to keep it from getting too dark. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours. Refrigerate until ready to serve or serve at room temperature.
  • While pie cools, combine remaining 2/3 cup cream and remaining 1 teaspoon white sugar in the chilled bowl from the freezer. Whisk with a handheld electric mixer or manually with a whisk until soft peaks form and cream has almost doubled in size. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • When ready to serve, slice pie and serve with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits, spices, and honey will give your honey pie the best flavor. Try to use local and organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: This will ensure that the pie is cooked through without overcooking it.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Honey pie is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. With its sweet filling and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just because you have a craving for something sweet, honey pie is always a good choice.
