Method
Prepare the Crust
- Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a food processor until well combined. Press into a 9-inch pie pan and freeze for 10 minutes.
Make the Filling
- Whisk together 1/4 cup of milk, honey, egg yolks, corn starch, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Warm the remaining 2 3/4 cups of milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the Filling
- Gradually whisk the hot milk into the yolk mixture. Return to saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine and Chill
- Remove from heat and cool slightly before folding in dandelion petals and vanilla. Pour filling into crust and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Prepare the Topping
- Whip the heavy cream in a chilled mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Add honey and vanilla to sweeten, adjusting to taste.
Serve the Pie
- Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and garnish with fresh dandelion petals or a drizzle of honey before serving.

Notes
Ensure only fresh yellow dandelion petals are used to avoid bitterness. Allow filling to cool before mixing in petals for best flavor and color retention.
