Turtle Trifle image

From Southern Living Magazine, December 2006. This recipe is unique because it uses a frozen pecan pie, thawed. You could always make your own pecan pie. My favorite pecan pie on Zaar is Recipe #8163.

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened (you can substitute an 8 ounce package of cream cheese here if you want)
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 lbs frozen pecan pie, thawed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/3 cup chocolate fudge topping
1/3 cup caramel topping
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted (optional)

Steps:

  • Beat mascarpone cheese, whipping cream, and vanilla extract in a large bowl at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer, using the whisk attachment, 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth and firm.
  • Place half of pie cubes in bottom of a 4-quart trifle dish or tall, clear 4-quart glass bowl.
  • Spread half of whipped cream mixture over pie cubes.
  • Drizzle with half each of chocolate fudge topping and caramel topping. (You might need to zap the fudge and caramel topping in the microwave for 15-25 seconds to get them to drizzling consistency).
  • Sprinkle with half of chopped pecans.
  • Repeat layers.
  • Cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  • **Cook time does not include toasting the pecans, defrosting the pie, or refrigeration time.
