Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Cobbler on the Kettle

[BuffettFan]

I'm not a big sweets fan, but pecan pie is one exception.
Before this cook, I've never made a pecan pie.
I think I've made some apple or cherry pies in the past by dumping a can of filling into a frozen crust, but that's about it.

That's got to change.
So, I gathered some ingredients, using another Meat Church yootoobes as a guide.

 

[BuffettFan]

Almost forgot the most important ingredient!
In Cowgirl's tradition, two shots, bourbon this time.
Jim Beam for the pot, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked for the cook.

All the goodies go into the bowl along with some melted butter.

Grease the insides and top edge of a couple cast iron ramekins, using Grandma's secret recipe pie crust, cut a piece to fit just the bottoms of the ramekins, add a layer of chocolate chips, I used semi-sweet, and fill halfway with the pecan mixture.
Cover with another disk of the pie crust.

At this point, onto the kettle, running about 350* with some pecan wood for a little bit of smoke.
I let them go 20 minutes, more or less.

 

[BuffettFan]

At that point, more filling, just shy of the top, leaving room for a layer of pecan halves.
Then, back to the kettle for another 30 minutes or so, till they've almost set.

 

[BuffettFan]

Now, the hardest part, letting them cool so as not to melt my tongue!

 

[BuffettFan]

A dollop of Whipped cream and it's on!

I'll be making a few more of these in the very near future.

Thanks for looking!


Edit: not sure what happened to the last pic!

one question.... how do you keep it from falling off the spoon upside down like that? :becky:

If you are not big into sweets send them my way. Every tooth in my mouth is a sweet tooth. That looks sooooooooo GOOD. Glad you entered that in the Throwdown

The only problem I see with this is I'm not there enjoying it. Looks fantastic. I do this in the oven and use the premade tart shells. Works so well.
