Caramel Turtle Pie

If you’re in the mood for something luxuriously sweet, try my Caramel Turtle Pie! I have a feeling turtle pie might not be familiar to everyone. Turtles are a little turtle-shaped chocolate candy with a pecan and caramel filling. I’m not clear on the history, but at some point a very smart cook thought that chocolate, caramel, and pecan would also work great as a pie, and so the Turtle Pie was born!

A Turtle Pie usually has the classic caramel, chocolate and pecans drizzled and scattered over the top of a cheesecake filling, but I went a bit further and turned those three key ingredients into different layers within the pie – have a go and see for yourself how delicious it turns out!

For the pie crust I use this Pie Crust Mix recipe.

To make Caramel Turtle Pie, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how to make Caramel Turtle Pie?

Steps to make Caramel Turtle Pie

1	Add the pecans to the pie	1
Lay the pecans across the bottom of the pie crust.
2	Cook the filling	5
Place a heavy-based pan over a medium heat. Add 1 cup of the condensed milk, 1 cup of butter, syrup and sugar, stir and bring to the boil. Stir continuously while boiling for 5 minutes.
3	Beat the filling	1
Take the pan off the heat. Beat with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes until the filling starts to thicken (but do not overbeat).
4	Fill the pie crust	1
Pour the filling into the pie crust.
5	Chill	1h
Cover the pie with serran wrap and chill for 1 hour.
6	Melt the butter and chocolate	2
Melt the chocolate and remaining butter together in a pan over a low heat.
7	Add the condensed milk	1
Stir in the remaining condensed milk.
8	Cool the mixture	3
Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool for about 3 minutes, until cool enough that the egg will not cook when added but not so that the chocolate starts to harden.
9	Add the egg yolk	1
Add the egg to the chocolate and stir in.
10	Top the pie with the chocolate	1
Spread the chocolate evenly over the chilled filling.
11	Chill	1h
Cover the pie again and return to the refrigerator to chill for another hour.
