"From pork pies to lemon meringue pies, the term "pie" encompasses so many various sweet and savory dishes that it's harder than you might think to nail down a definition. While there are more than a few outliers (we're looking at you, shepherd's pie), the general consensus seems to be that a pie involves a crust or some kind of pastry with a sweet or savory filling."
"Those looking for a slightly more unusual and elegant pie to indulge in will find this recipe especially appealing. Notes of honey, blueberry, and elderflower are combined within this custard pie, bringing you a light, bright, and fruity dessert that celebrates the tastes of summer. With the help of some bubble wrap and a few hours of freezing and thawing, this dessert is finished with a striking honeycomb-textured surface, making it a great option for special occasions."
Blueberry elderflower honeycomb pie uses a graham-cracker crust made with butter and honey. The custard filling combines egg yolks, elderflower syrup, cornstarch, gelatin, whole milk, heavy cream, lemon zest, an egg white, and blueberry jam to create a light, fruity custard. The topping is formed by pouring a honey and elderflower syrup mixture over bubble wrap, then freezing and thawing to produce a honeycomb-textured glaze. Fresh blueberries and optional edible flowers complete the decoration. The pie emphasizes bright summer flavors and presents an elegant, visually striking finish suitable for special occasions.
