Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups caramel sauce
- 1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup additional caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
- 0.25 cup additional pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and grind until they form fine crumbs.
Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter in a medium bowl until well combined.
Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
Pour 3/4 cup of caramel sauce over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
Scatter the toasted and chopped pecans evenly over the caramel layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy cream in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted. Allow to cool slightly.
Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the pecan layer.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chocolate layer, smoothing out the top.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until well set.
Before serving, optionally drizzle with more caramel sauce and garnish with additional pecans for extra flair.
Slice and serve cold. Enjoy your Awesome Turtle Pie!
