Description
A Caramel Turtle Brownie Pie is a decadent dessert that combines the richness of brownies with the buttery sweetness of caramel, the crunch of pecans, and a touch of melted chocolate. It is inspired by turtle candies, which are typically made with caramel, nuts, and chocolate. The pie version is baked in a pie dish and features a brownie base topped with caramel sauce, pecans, and chocolate, making it the ultimate dessert for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
For the brownie base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the caramel layer:
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
For the toppings:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Prepare the brownie batter: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs & vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Bake the brownie base: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool.
- Layer the caramel: Spread the caramel sauce evenly over the cooled brownie layer. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Add toppings: Top with chopped pecans and drizzle melted chocolate over the entire pie.
- Chill & serve: Let the pie set for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
