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
