Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
• 1.5 cups Macadamia nuts
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Honey
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges if desired.

Step 2

Spread the macadamia nuts evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and honey. Cook and stir continuously until the mixture is fully combined and begins to bubble gently.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring, then cook for 1-2 minutes more until the caramel mixture thickens slightly. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well blended.

Step 6

Gradually pour the slightly cooled caramel mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Step 7

Carefully pour the caramel-egg mixture over the macadamia nuts in the pie crust, ensuring the nuts are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. The center should jiggle slightly but not be liquid.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This will take about 2 hours and ensures the filling sets properly.

Step 10

Serve the Macadamia Pie at room temperature or slightly chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
