Categories     Desserts     Pies

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup pecans
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
¼ cup corn syrup
⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Place pecans into bottom of pie shell.
  • To Make Filling: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, cook condensed milk, brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Stir and bring to a boil; stir continuously for at least 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then slowly beat with a spoon until mixture starts to thicken; will take about 2 minutes. Be sure not to over beat or it will harden too much. Pour mixture into pie shell; cover and refrigerate for about an hour. Filling ingredients may be halved to make for a less rich pie.
  • To Make Topping: In a medium saucepan, cook chocolate and butter over low heat until melted together. Stir in condensed milk; mix well. Remove from heat; allow to cool just enough so that yolk won't cook when added, but not so cool that the chocolate hardens; cooling time will be about 3 minutes. Stir in egg yolk to chocolate mixture; spread over cooled filling. Place pie back in refrigerator and cool for another hour.

SIMPLE TURTLES® PUMPKIN PIE



Simple Turtles® Pumpkin Pie image

This is a very simple and delicious recipe. The combination of caramel, pecans, pumpkin, and a graham cracker crust brings the flavors together. Taste-wise I prefer to make a homemade crust, but a pre-made graham cracker crust can be substituted to reduce prep time. It is a staple in our family around the holidays and has won several cooking contests. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Tips for Making the Perfect Turtles Pie

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of this pie, so it's important to use the best chocolate you can find. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%).
  • Don't overcook the chocolate. The chocolate should be melted until it is smooth and creamy. Do not overcook it, or it will become grainy and lose its flavor.
  • Chill the pie before serving. This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Garnish the pie with chopped nuts, whipped cream, or fresh berries. This will add a touch of elegance and make the pie even more delicious.

Conclusion

Turtles Pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy caramel filling, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Turtles Pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
