Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a small baking dish, roast the walnuts in the oven for 5 minutes, or until fragrant but not too browned. Roughly chop and set aside.
-
In a medium pot, combine the honey and caster sugar and melt together. Add the miso and whisk until no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer where you have a few bubbles starting at the edges of the pot.
-
Add the butter and whisk until melted. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.
-
Put a baking tray in the oven to cook the pie on so it is preheated (for the crispiest bottom crust!)
-
When ready to bake the pie, whisk the cream and vanilla into the honey mixture until fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to combine between each addition until thick and shiny.
-
Fold through the roughly chopped toasted walnuts .
-
Pour the pie filling into the frozen pie shell.
-
Place on the preheated baking tray in the oven and bake for 45-60 minutes until the pie crust is well browned, and the pie is set on the edges and just has a little bit of softness in the centre -this will set as the pie cools.
-
Set aside to cool for at least 2-3 hours before serving. For the cleanest, sharpest slices, refrigerate for an hour before slicing.
-
Top with flaky sea salt and serve with creme fraiche.
