Honey-Sweetened French Canelés (Made with Beeswax)

There’s something special about combining two gifts from the hive — raw honey and beeswax.

These traditional French pastries, known as canelés, are baked with a beeswax-lined mold that creates their signature caramelized crust. We’ve taken it one step further by replacing refined sugar with Keene Raw Honey, giving them a deeper, richer flavor.

The result is a beautifully balanced dessert with a crisp exterior and soft, custard-like center.

Why Use Honey?

Using raw, unfiltered honey:

  • Adds natural sweetness without refined sugar

  • Enhances flavor with floral notes

  • Creates a richer caramelization

Why Beeswax?

Beeswax is what gives canelés their:

  • Signature glossy finish

  • Crisp outer shell

  • Authentic French texture
