3. Ingredients List (Exact Measurements)

To craft this magical pie, gather:

To make the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 3–4 tbsp ice water

For the Toffee Crunch Layer:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (optional for extra crunch)

Making the Vanilla Cream Filling:

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

For the Caramel Glaze:

  • ½ cup caramel sauce
  • 1 tbsp cream soda (optional for Butterbeer twist)

4. Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Pie Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour and ½ tsp salt. Cut in ½ cup cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 3–4 tbsp ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, transfer to a pie dish, and trim edges. Blind-bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until golden. Let cool before assembling.

Making the Toffee Crunch

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup sugar, ¼ cup butter, and 2 tbsp corn syrup, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly. Cook until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and quickly stir in ½ tsp baking soda—it will foam up, creating a light, crunchy texture. Spread evenly onto parchment paper and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. Let cool completely, then break into small pieces.

Whipping the Vanilla Cream

In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ¼ cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Use a hand mixer or whisk for best results. Chill until ready to assemble. For vegan alternatives, substitute coconut cream. More whipping tips here.

Assembling the Pie

Layer crushed toffee pieces evenly over the cooled crust. Spoon whipped vanilla cream on top, smoothing with a spatula. Drizzle caramel sauce mixed with 1 tbsp cream soda (or vanilla extract) over the cream for a glossy finish. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with additional toffee bits or nuts for extra flair.

5. Decorating the Pie

Enhance your pie’s whimsical charm by drizzling extra caramel sauce in zigzag patterns. Sprinkle edible glitter or colorful sprinkles to mimic Honeydukes’ playful aesthetic. Crushed nuts or chocolate shavings add texture and elegance. For clean slices, dip a knife in hot water and wipe between cuts. Serve on a themed platter with “Honeydukes” labels for a magical presentation. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
