This no bake turtle pie is made with an Oreo crust, creamy caramel cheesecake filling, and topped with melted chocolate, caramel sauce, and chopped pecans.
Make the crust: pulse Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor on hand, place the Oreos in a Ziplock bag and smash them with a cup until fine crumbs form.
Into a small to medium mixing bowl, add the crumbs, and melted butter. Mix with a spoon until the crumbs are coated with butter.
Transfer the crumbs into a prepared 9-inch pie pan, pressing evenly and firmly into the pan.
Place the pan in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to set.
Into a large mixing bowl, add the cold heavy whipping cream, kosher salt, vanilla extract and powder sugar, and whip it with an electric hand mixer to stiff peaks.
Add the softened cream cheese and the refrigerated caramel sauce, and mix until well combined, and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Remove the oreo crust from the freezer and pour the cheesecake mixture onto the crust, smooth it out using a spatula. Store in the fridge to set for at least 8 hours.
Remove from the fridge and drizzle more caramel sauce, melted chocolate of your choice, and chopped pecans. Make dollops of whipped cream around the edges of the pie for a beautiful look. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure that you are using room-temperature cream cheese in this recipe, this step makes it easier to mix the cream cheese with no unnecessary lumps, we don’t want that.
Use high-fat cream cheese or the well-known Philadelphia cream cheese. Using full-fat cream cheese ensures that your pie will be stable.
For a smooth and creamy pie, make sure that you are using room-temperature ingredients. Before you begin to make this dessert, make sure that your cream cheese is completely soft, and that your caramel sauce is at room temperature.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently to ensure that you have a homogeneous mixture that has no cream cheese lumps.
If you are making your own homemade caramel sauce, it is important that you let it cool completely to room temperature or use it from the fridge. It can not be hot.
