Turtle Pie is so good ... May be better then average sex.

Smooth caramel filling infused with rich caramel, topped with chocolate, pecans, and whipped crème rosettes on a fresh-from-the-oven chocolate cookie crumb crust.

BTW.. do not confuse Turtle pie with the horrible frozen boxed desert at your local supermarket. You have to make it at home or go to CA to try it there, they know how to make it.


I love Baskin Robbins turtle pie

Same. I just love hers. Key Lime is my fave.

Any recipe that suggests using "regular" limes is not authentic. There is a very distinct difference in the taste of Key limes and regular limes.

Any “key” lime you buy in the supermarket is going to be from Mexico and won’t make your pie taste any better.

The best recipe is the simplest but don't waste time juicing the limes, just be sure to buy Nellie and Joe's (it's by the real lemon in most grocery stores). https://keylimejuice.com/nellie-joes-key-lime-pie/

This is the best recipe. Fresh whipped cream is key. Sooooo goooood!

I tried traditional key lime pie and this one with cream cheese, the cream cheese the clear winner. I used Nellie and Joe’s Key West Lime juice.
