Turtle Pie

If you love caramel pecan turtles, you’re going to LOVE this turtle pie! A toasty graham cracker and pecan crust is filled with a creamy caramel cream cheese mixture and topped with more gooey caramel, crunchy pecans, and silky chocolate. It’s classic flavors you love in a new delicious form. 

For more caramel goodness, you should definitely try my Caramelitas or copycat Crumbl Salted Caramel Cheesecake Cookies. If the pecans are your favorite part of this recipe, Arkansas Possum Pie also has a pecan crust. You’ll also love my Candied Pecans and  Pecan Sticky Buns.

  • Easy turtle pie recipe. This recipe for turtle pie comes together in a snap. Once you’ve mixed and baked your pecan-graham cracker crust (alternatively, make this a no bake turtle pie recipe and just stick the crust in the fridge), mix the filling and pour it in. Drizzle some melted chocolate on top, add some toasted pecans, and chill. Easy!
