If I’ve ever done a private party for you, there’s a very good chance I’ve made you a braai pie. Ever since 2010, it’s been one of my favourite recipes… but this time the savoury filling is replaced with sweet filling and this epic side-dish becomes a dessert braai pie! You HAVE TO try this… #YUM!
Check out the #BraaiBoyTV episode below where I make one, or scroll down further for the printable recipe.
Dessert Braai Pie
Ingredients
- 2 Rolls Puff Pastry
- 1/2 can Caramel
- 1/2 can Pears Thinly Sliced
- 1 handful Pecan Nuts Crushed
- 1 egg (optional)
How to Braai
- Just like with the original braai pie, we start by defrosting the dough and roll the first one out onto the grid. Tip: do not defrost for too long in the microwave, else the dough goes soggy… your best bet is to let the dough defrost slowly on its own.Tip: use some Olive Oil or Spray & Cook on the grid before laying out the dough.
- Spread the caramel evenly over the pastry.
- Place a thin layer of pear slices over the caramel.
- Crush and sprinkle Pecan Nuts over the pears.
- Cover with the second roll of puff pastry, and seal as if you are making a pie. Tip: Egg wash the dough for that extra golden brown effect.
- Place it high up on the fire and turn constantly until golden brown… This is not a steak: rather turn too much than too little 🙂
