Chocolate Turtle Pie or Turtle Ice Cream Pie image

Simple, but elegant dessert. You can make your own chocolate cookie crust or just buy one at the store & carefully put it in your own pie plate, if you want. We won't tell. To make this into an ice cream pie, replace the cooked pudding (using the milk) with softened chocolate ice cream, then garnish & freeze until almost ready...

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 c caramel ice cream topping, plus extra to drizzle as a garnish
1 chocolate crust, pre-made or homemade
1/2 c chopped pecans & more for garnish
2 smaller pkgs. cooked chocolate pudding mix (4 serving size each)

some whipped cream or cool whip

Steps:

  • 1. Spread caramel topping over the bottom of the chocolate crust. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Refrigerate.

  • 3. Pour slightly cooled pudding into the chocolate crust. Place plastic wrap on the surface of the pudding (to avoid a "skin") and refrigerate for 3 hours.
