Short on prep time? This easy Turtle Pie recipe is the perfect dessert to make. It's rich, creamy, and crazy quick to prepare! The pie includes all the ingredients you love, including a homemade chocolate cookie crust, a delicious cheesecake filling, and topped with caramel, chocolate, and pecans. It's like eating your favorite Turtles candy in a pie form!
In a medium bowl, stir all the Oreo crust ingredients together. Pour it into a 10-inch springform pan and pack the mixture in very tightly to ensure the crust holds the cheesecake filling when serving.
Freeze the crust for 10-15 minutes (I like to do this as I prepare the cheesecake filling).
Make the Cheesecake Filling
Using a hand mixer or an electric stand mixer (fitted with a whisk attachment), mix the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 4-5 minutes. Set this whipped cream aside.
Using a hand mixer or a electric stand mixer (fitted with either a whisk or paddle attachment), beat the cream cheese and sugars on medium speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
Add in the sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and caramel extract . Beat for on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, or until there are no more lumps and mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Use a rubber spatula to fold in the prepared whipped cream into the cheesecake filling and carefully mix to combine.
Make the Turtle Pie
Remove the prepared Oreo crust from the freezer. Use your spatula to spread the cheesecake filling into the crust. I find it helps to use an offset spatula to create smooth tops (it just makes it prettier, but is not required).
Cover the pie with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
Refrigerate overnight (recommended), or for at least 8 hours.
Once set, drizzle the caramel sauce and chocolate syrup, and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
When ready to serve, use a clean sharp knife to cut the Turtle Pie into 12 slices. Serve as is, or garnish with a doll op of whipped cream! ENJOY!
