BBQ Grilled Caramel Pie
Grilled caramel pie is a unique BBQ dessert that combines a crispy crust with a rich, creamy caramel filling. The heat from the grill not only bakes the pie crust but also adds unique smoky notes to the caramel sauce, making the dessert even more special. Pies have been popular in various cuisines for centuries, but this grilled version adds a modern twist to the traditional recipe, making it even more exciting. The BBQ technique helps to ensure that the crust remains crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. This recipe is the perfect choice as a finale to an outdoor barbecue or as a dessert for a special occasion. For an even richer flavor experience, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or sprinkled with a little toasted nuts!

Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the embers provide even heat.
2
Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface, then place it on a baking paper-lined grill rack or in a cast-iron skillet.
3
Grill the crust for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned and crispy.
4
In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then add the brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and slightly caramelizes.
5
Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then stir for another 1-2 minutes until a silky caramel sauce forms.
6
Pour the caramel sauce onto the pre-grilled pie crust, then sprinkle with chopped walnuts and a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor.
7
Close the grill lid and grill for another 5-7 minutes, until the caramel is slightly set and the pie is perfectly baked.
8
Let cool for a few minutes before serving, then slice and serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh fruit.
