Turtle pie is an easy no-bake dessert made with creamy peanut butter pie filling loaded with crunchy toasted pecans and topped with caramel and chocolate.
In a mixing bowl, combine your choice of Graham cracker crumbs (or Oreo crumbs) with melted butter for the crust. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
Toast the pecans over medium heat on the stovetop for about 3 minutes. Shake them frequently so that they don’t burn. Immediately remove the toasted pecans from the pan and set them aside to cool.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and peanut butter until well combined.
Next, using your electric mixer, beat the whipped topping and half of the toasted pecans into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Spread 1/4 cup of the caramel ice cream topping in an even layer over the bottom of the cookie crust.
Add the cream cheese filling to the pie crust and spread it out evenly. Place the pie into the freezer to chill for 2 to 3 hours.
Take the pie out of the freezer and sprinkle the remaining pecans over the top.
Melt chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between until completely smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over the pie.
Once the pie is topped with chocolate, drizzle on the caramel topping. Return the pie to the freezer for 1 hour or until set.
Take the pie out of the freezer about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
