Recipe Tip
What is “Healthified”?
We've replaced ingredients with great tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.
Success
Be sure to drop the ice cream by small spoonfuls so that spreading it is minimal and you don't disturb the preceding layers.
Substitution
Pecans are traditional for turtle desserts, but walnuts or cashews are just as delicious.
