Ingredients

For the Crust:

1-¾ cups Biscoff cookie crumbs finely ground for smooth crust
6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted room temperature for easy mixing
¼ cup light brown sugar loosely packed for sweetness
Pinch kosher salt balances sweetness

For the Filling:

18 ounces carrots peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces for smooth pureeing
½ cup pure clover honey or your preferred mild honey
¼ cup granulated sugar for added sweetness
2 tablespoons water helps blend carrots smoothly
1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure for warm flavor
½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt enhances sweetness
3 large eggs room temperature for even mixing
½ cup heavy cream full fat for rich texture

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and position a rack in the middle.
In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt until the mixture holds together when pressed.
Press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, forming the edges first, then evenly packing the bottom with a flat-bottomed cup.
Steam the carrot pieces until very tender, about 20–30 minutes, or boil until soft.
Blend the cooked carrots with honey, sugar, water, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth.
Whisk eggs and cream in a medium bowl until smooth, then fold in the carrot puree until combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake in the center of the oven until set but not cracked, approximately 45–55 minutes.
Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.
Serve slices with whipped cream and optionally garnish with candied carrot ribbons.

Notes

This pie is the perfect cozy dessert for chilly afternoons. The sweet honey and tender carrot filling wrapped in a crunchy cookie base will make anyone smile at the first bite.
