Equipment

  • oven
  • medium sauce pot
  • whisk
  • knife
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 crust Par Baked Coconut Oil Pie Crust Plus leftover dough for leaf decorations
  • 2 cups Pecans whole 245g
  • 2 Tbs Coconut Oil Solid
  • 3 Tbs All Purpose Flour
  • ¼ cup Bourbon 50g
  • 1 cup Brown Rice Syrup 322g
  • cup Dark Brown Sugar 132g
  • 1 Tbs Molasses
  • 2 Tbs Maple Syrup
  • 2 teaspoon Bourbon Vanilla Extract I use Rodelle

For Finishing and Serving

  • Nut Milk
  • Cane Sugar
  • Extra pie dough Cut into leaf or festive shapes
  • Vegan Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
  • Melted Chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C), setting the oven rack in the center of the oven. Toast the pecans for about 10-12 minutes or until fragrant. Rough chop and set aside.
  • In a medium sauce pot, add the coconut oil and heat until shimmering. Turn the burner down to low and add the flour whisking until a paste forms. Turn the burner off and whisk in the bourbon until smooth. To the flour mixture, add the brown rice syrup, sugar, molasses, maple syrup, and extract. Turn the burner back on to medium low and whisk until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Continue whisking occasionally until bubbles just start to form around the edges. Remove from heat immediately and add the chopped pecans. Stir, then pour the mixture into the par baked pie crust and spread it evenly.
  • Brush the edges of the crust with nut milk and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. When done, the crust will be golden-brown and the pie will be bubbly, loose and not set. Allow to set overnight to firm up before decorating with pie dough cutouts and/or cutting into the pie.
  • To cut into the pie, spray a sharp knife with pan spray. Using firm pressure, cut into the pie, wiping the knife off each time to clean it before cutting again. Rewarm individual slices for about 3-4 minutes in a 325F (163C) oven. It will melt if over-heated.
  • Serve with vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate drizzle.
  • Store the pie covered, at room temperature for up to three days. Some of the sugar will leak out a bit as it sets, but it can be scraped up with a spoon easily when slightly warmed.

Notes

Use leftover pie dough to make leaves or other shapes to lay on the edges of your pie. To do this, gather the scraps and reroll the dough if needed (rest the dough after gathering the scraps and reworking the dough for about 10 minutes. This will allow the dough to relax and make it a bit easier to roll). Cut shapes, add decorative veins with the tip of a knife dipped in flour, freeze for about 5 minutes, then brush nutmilk over the pieces. Lightly sprinkle with cane sugar. Bake on a parchment or silpat lined sheet pan while the pie bakes for about 9-12 minutes or until golden - keep an eye on them - the smaller the leaf the quicker the bake. Decorate the pie once the leaves and pie have cooled.
