How to Make Turtle Pumpkin Pie

  1. Prepare your pie crust (store-bought is perfectly fine!). Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) of caramel topping into the crust, spreading evenly.
  2. Sprinkle 1/2 cup (30g) of chopped pecans over the caramel layer.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the following until completely smooth: 1 (3.4 ounce) package Jell-O vanilla instant pudding mix, 1 (3.4 ounce) package Jell-O chocolate instant pudding mix, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups (355ml) of whipped topping (Cool Whip or similar).
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust over the pecan layer.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer, to allow the pie to set completely.
  7. Just before serving, top with remaining whipped topping (about 1/2 cup), a drizzle of caramel topping, and a sprinkle of chopped pecans for extra crunch.
