Today’s post is for an absolutely delicious Frozen Turtle Pie. I know it sounds decadent (and it is) but the beauty of it is that you can actually make it significantly lower in sugar with just a few substitutions.
What You’ll Need to Make Frozen Turtle Pie:
- Caramel Topping
- Sugar-Free Chocolate Pudding (small box)
- Whipped Topping
- Milk
- Pecans
- Chocolate Shell
- Chocolate Pie Crust
How to Make Frozen Turtle Pie:
So we take our milk and pour it into a mixing bowl and dump in our pudding mix and beat it until mixed well.
Then we add in that tub of cool whip.
**Lighter option: Try using sugar-free pudding and light cool whip. It will still have sugar but it will have a whole lot less, and this Frozen Turtle Pie is no less decadent because of it!
We then have a nice creamy pudding but the beauty of this is, after you freeze it, it tastes just like chocolate ice cream.
Pour that luscious caramel into your chocolate pie crust. Then tilt it a bit until the caramel covers the bottom.
Sprinkle pecans all over that.
Spoon all of the pudding mixture over it. It will be very full.
Now cover it and freeze.
See the handy thing about using a store bought crust for this is that great little cover!
When you’re ready to serve, remove from freezer and squirt a border of frozen whipped cream around the edges.
Drizzle some Magic Shell over the frozen turtle pie and place that in the freezer for about five minutes, uncovered, just to solidify the magic shell over the whipped cream part.
Add some pecans around the border for decoration if you like.
Look how deliciously decadent that looks!
Serve this delicious Frozen Turtle Pie to your favorite people or just keep it stored in the freezer and ration it out a piece at a time, to yourself!

Oh look… that pie is my new best friend!
Oh MY! It’s actually breakfast-time right now, but where is it written that pie is forbidden at breakfast?? After all, look at all that milk protein in there! Looks luscious!
That pie is almost too purty to cut into. Notice I said almost. Self-control is weak when it comes to turtle flavored anything. Ain’t God good! He gave someone the idea to put caramel, chocolate & pecans together. Divine insipration if you ask me. BTW what is your tip on making the whipped cream look so professional? Thanks for all you do!!
I can’t quite make out the brand of caramel sauce. Is it ONLY sold at Aldi’s ?
OMG, I love, love, love pie and the idea of Pie Friday sounds right up my alley!!! I will have to try this. I made the Grahamwiches this week with cinnamon graham crackers & sugar free chocolate pie & they are the perfect little sweet snack while you are watching TV at night. Thank you so much Miss Christy!!!!
What timing!
You see, I’d just gotten a frozen banana pie the other day… because I’d been wanting one of the old cheap ones that was basically pudding-type.
But the new expensive ones were nothing close to the same thing. Different texture… not even in a graham cracker crust… and too firm to eat semi-frozen.
Then… yesterday, I saw someone post a pudding pops recipe that was similar to the filling here… and I’d figured making that with banana pudding just might have to do.
How did I not think to put it in a pie shell??
But this looks too good with turtle… so I think I’ve just planned myself two pies for this weekend. 🙂
OH My Stars – – will definitely be making this soon. : )
