Chocolate Pecan Cobbler - Best Summer BBQ Dessert!

[@ralphjenkinsak]

You had me just with the 3 words...1. Chocolate, 2. Pecan and 3. Cobbler. I'm making that this summer when my kids and their spouses come home to visit. Can't wait!!

[@jkgarri]

I'd add dark chocolate chips😊

And...Bourbon!

My favorite way is almost the same but the middle I use flaky layers biscuits split up. Southern Comfort is the bourbon of choice for the recipe. Dry instant coffee sprinkled on the ice cream is a tasty addition.

Made for Father’s Day Dessert

[@alacharger]

Tried this recently. Could hear my arteries hardening while I ate it, but it WAS SO AWESOME! Great recipe.

[@mamabear52]

I have never used chocolate or made a pecan pie that big, great idea. I add a pinch of salt to mine, not sure if it makes a difference but have done that for decades. The half pecans float nicely during baking, but if you have the time or creative spirit you can place them, your pie is beautiful

[@RJLR252U]

Thanksgiving 2024 my wife and I followed you for years. Thank you for all your hard work. Your recipes, tips and techniques 🥃. I am making this while I write this. Windy and rainy in Pa this morning but I don’t care it’s going in my Traeger grill right now with pecan smoke .🥃😎

I made this for a party yesterday and it was AMAZING! Thank you so much for doing a dessert recipe!

[@jasonhollinger9513]

This video deserves just as many clicks as the BBQ videos! That looks epic man! My family, especially my kids, will love it.

[@mistersomeone4961]

Tried this in Traeger Junior and here are my notes: - Took double the time for the syrup to set and surface browned, about 100 minutes. I used aluminum round baking pan. - Do not cut the dough specially the bottom one to make a perfect circle to fit the pan. Leave as is so the extra is raised above the circumference. This will stop the liquids from seeping beneath the dough and in turn getting stuck at the bottom of the pan from the heat. Mine got stuck and was very hard to remove. I heavily buttered the whole pan btw. Other than that, very good recipe. Thank you!

[@ParkerTyler]

Thank you for the notes! Made this once and cooked it at the time in the recipe and it was still extremely soupy. Will have to try again with your suggestions

[@SharonAnnMenefee]

That cobbler looks amazing and I bet it tastes divine!

[@girlintheglen]

This a riff off the Kentucky Derby pie, adding chocolate to a traditional pecan pie. Definitely some Kentucky bourbon makes it pretty perfect.

[@kristenb5177]

I would soak the pecan in rum coffee liqueur for 24 hours

[@peterbilt-bo1vy]

​@@kristenb5177That sounds so good! I believe I will try that. 🙂

[@kristenb5177]

@@peterbilt-bo1vy To infuse pecans with rum coffee liqueur, you can follow these steps: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and roast them for 10-12 minutes until they are fragrant and lightly browned. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rum coffee liqueur with 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the roasted pecans until they are well coated. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and let it sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure that the pecans are evenly coated with the rum coffee liqueur mixture . Enjoy 😃

[@Sandy-Texas-]

after you trimmed the pie I would have added it to the top like you would on a cherry pie.. in strips. that looks amazing..

[@davidward1259]

The wife has made a "chocolate cobbler" in the oven for years. I'm going to give this awesome looking dish a try on the smoker. GA Pecans are the best! And every GA person with a smoker has a friend with a Pecan tree so we have fresh pecan chunks or wood for our smokers! Also Matt, since you are in Texas, if you have not already tried it, you have to give La Vencedora "Vanilla Pura" a try (Mexican Vanilla). It would be awesome in a dish like this. I'm in GA and we have to have it shipped from TX so it should be easy for you to find.

[@SirPartyRoc]

The time it took for you to align the pecans, do you think that played a factor in the outcome as opposed to just throwing pecans on it and putting it back in the smoker? Reason I ask, let's say it took you 5 mins to pretty it up versus 30 seconds to throw on a pile of pecans for the 2nd smoke it had any impact to the crust or mixture firming/congealing.

I tried this today. My edges were pretty good, I followed this recipe to the T. Nice carmelized spoonful, almost pull your fillings out. Delicious. The center under the upper pie crust was liquid even after 4 hrs of cool/rest. The chocolate chips never really melted in. When I served it we ended up putting ice cream in a bowl and just scooping a bit on top for a garnish I guess. Just wondering what I did wrong. Traeger pellet grill dialed in for temps, followed the time recommended. Another note, holy moly is this sweet! Like curl your toes sweet.
