Preparation
Step 1
WAY TO GRILL: INDIRECT AND DIRECT MEDIUM HEAT (ABOUT 400 DEGREES)
GRILLING TIME: 15-21 MINUTES
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: 8X8 INCH BAKING PAN SUITABLE FOR THE GRILL
1. Prepare the grill for indirect and direct cooking over medium heat.
2. In a large bowl combine the crust ingredients and mix well. Firmly and evenly press the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking pan. Grill the curst over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until firm, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the crust from the grill and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. This will allow the crust to set.
3. In a small bowl combine the butter and brown sugar. Cut each bannana in half lenghtwise and leave the skinsattached (they will help the bananas hold thier shape on the grill). Liberally brush the cut sides of the bananas with the butter mixture.
4. Grill the bananas, cut sides down, over direct medium heat, with the lid open, until they start to soften, 2 to 4 minutes, without turning. Let cool briefly and then score the bananas into 1/2 inch thick slices, cutting through just to the peel.
5. Fill the pan with 2 cups of the marshmallows, making sure they cover the bottom of the crust evenly. Next, scoop out and distribute the slices of grilled banana, followed by the remaining 2 cups of marshmallows.
6. Grill the pie over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, keeping the temperature of the grill as close to 400 degress as possible, until the marshmallows have puffed up an start to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. As this point carefully sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and continue cooking until the chips appear glossy and melted, about 2 minutes. Remove the pie from the grill and let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon into small serving bowls and serve warm.
