Turtle Pie is a super quick and easy no-bake dessert combines crunchy crust, creamy filling, chocolate, caramel, and pecans, in a delightful cold and creamy pie form.
Place the crackers in the food processor and pulse them until they are fine.
In a small bowl, mix the crumbs, melted butter and sugar until incorporated.
Press the crust into a pie pan or a springform. Use the bottom of a flat cup to evenly press the mixture on the bottom and the sides of the pie pan.
Place the pan in the fridge while making the filling.
To make the filling
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peak forms (reserve ½ cup for the topping).
Microwave the chocolate chips for 30 seconds or until melted, allow it to cool to room temperature before adding it to the whipped cream.
In another mixing bowl, whisk the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Whisk in the melted chocolate.
Now, stir in the whipped cream, mix well.
Spread the filling on top of the crust, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for 4-6 hours.
Topping
Use a piping bag to pipe the reserved whipped cream (use any tip you like) around the edge of the pie. Scatter chopped pecans on top of the pie and drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauce.
Notes
Make sure that the crust is fully chilled before spreading your filling. It allows a more solid structure for the Turtle Pie later on.
If you are making the crust ahead of time, cover the pan with foil and put it in the freezer for 1-2 days.
