Smoked Jalepeño Bacon Cream Cheese Pie w/ Raspberry Chipotle Topping

[DerHusker]

So I entered a pie contest and wanted to share my entry over here.

 

Here are most of the ingredients.

 

Made up some graham cracker crust. After smearing my CI pie pan with some butter flavored Crisco I press in the crust.

Made up a bacon weave and placed it on the kamado.

 

Because I couldn’t flip the weave I placed my bacon press on the burner for 10 minutes. After it’s smoking hot I placed it on top of the weave.

 

While that cooks I prep my jalapeños.

 

On the grill they go for 15 minutes along with the pie crust for 7 minutes at 350.

 

After the weave is cooked I place it in the bottom of the pie crust.

 

Then the smoked jalapeño rings and the cream cheese pie filling.

 

Now the pie goes into the kamado for 40 minutes at 350.

 

Here is the result.

 

After letting it cool to room temp and then in the fridge I spread on the Raspberry Jalapeño topping.

 

And decorate.

And this was my entry photo.

Goodness!  It sure does look beautiful!  I really like that cast iron press.  I never heard of those before, but they make total sense.

So, a savory sweet pie. What a great idea. I would love to know how it tastes. That would make a great appetizer.

It tastes pretty much like a standard cream cheese pie with a touch of a sweet heat ABT at the end. LIKE!

BACON and jalapenos on a desert. Pure genius! How does it taste? Is it smokey, savoury, spicy?

[Derek Stapleton]

Nicely done!
