Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Be sure to drop the ice cream by small spoonfuls so that spreading it is minimal and you don't disturb the preceding layers.

Pecans are traditional for turtle desserts, but walnuts or cashews are just as delicious.

I made this for the first time and it was soo good! I did make a few substitutions. I used sugar free chocolate wafers and sugar free hot fudge and sugar free caramel. My family loved it and I will definetly make it again. It is a do it ahead kind of desert, but so worth it.

This was delicious. The only difference was, I added cookie crumbs to the middle layer. This was a great combo, and I am thinking of some new versions. Will make again for sure.
