What You’ll Need
- Graham cracker crust. Use a prepared 9-inch crust and leave it in its pie tin for support.
- Thick caramel sauce. Choose a thick, spoonable sauce so the caramel layer holds together better when sliced.
- Chopped pecans. Spread them evenly over the caramel so each slice gets some crunch.
- Semisweet chocolate chips. Melt them just before pouring so the chocolate spreads easily over the pecans.
How to Make No-Bake Turtle Pie
Spread the caramel evenly across the crust, then scatter the pecans over it. Pour the melted chocolate over the nuts and use the back of a spoon to spread it gently toward the edges. A few pecans can peek through the top.
How to Slice the Pie
Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until the chocolate is firm and the layers hold together. For cleaner slices, warm a sharp knife under hot water, wipe it dry, and gently score the chocolate before cutting through the crust. Serve chilled.
