Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup butter melted (2 sticks)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Goop:
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter melted (2 sticks)
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup + 1/2 cup chopped pecans divided
- 1 cup shredded coconut sweetened
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 2 Tablespoons of Bourbon (about one shot glass)
Instructions
- Preheat Egg to 325 degrees F, indirect (lowest position for the Kamado Joe).
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together until well combined. Press graham cracker crust into a 9″ or 10″ pie plate (I used a 10″ cast iron dish). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar and melted butter. Add in eggs, heavy cream, flour, and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined. Add in 1 cup chopped pecans and coconut.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the bottom of the crust, in an even layer. ==> Alternatively, melt the chips down and mix into the brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, flour, etc. goop after they have cooled.
- Pour the pecan pie filling on top of the chocolate chips. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of pecans over the top of the pie.
- Bake (with a pie shield over the crust) for 30 minutes in the Egg with one chewing gum size block of pecan right in the coals.
- Transfer to oven at 325F and back for 35-40 minutes or until center is just barely firm.
- Allow to cool at least 1 hour before serving
- Enjoy!
