MILK AND HONEY PIE WITH CEREAL CRUST

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.

HONEY PIE

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.
