Caramel Cream
Using a hand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy whipping cream on high until it reaches soft peaks.
Add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks and it is a stable whipped cream. Set aside.
In another bowl, add the room temperature cream cheese, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture using a hand mixer fitted with the beater attachment until smooth.
Add the prepared whipped cream to the caramel mixture and beat until combined and smooth.
Pour the caramel cream into the prepared pecan crust. Refrigerate and move on.
Chocolate Ganache
Heat the heavy whipping cream until it is warm and begins to simmer.
NOTE: This takes 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave or 3 to 5 minutes on the stove top over medium heat.
While the cream is warming, place the semi sweet chocolate chips into a medium sized, heat safe, measuring cup.
Pour the warmed heavy whipping cream over top of the semi sweet chocolate chips. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Using a spoon, stir until the mixture becomes smooth and no lumps of chocolate remain.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled pie. Smooth it out until it is in an even layer.
NOTE: The chilled pie will cool the ganache quickly preventing any melting of the caramel cream layer.
Toppings for Decorating
Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the cooled ganache layer.
Top with pecans (chopped, halves, or a combination of the two).
Prepare more whipped cream to use as topping on the pie, using the same instructions above.
"Using a hand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy whipping cream on high until it reaches soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks and it is a stable whipped cream. Set aside."
Top pie with dollops of whipped cream or place the prepared whipped cream in a piping bag fitted with preferred piping tip (I used this one). Pipe the whipped cream on top of your pie.
Slice the Turtle Pie in 8 equal sized pieces. Serve pie refrigerated (my favorite), frozen, or at room temperature.
OPTIONAL: Refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight. This step helps to meld together and amplify the flavors.
