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.

Yummy, however next time I would use a butter pecan or pralines and cream in place of the vanilla to add a little more flavor and crunch.

I made this for my kids birthdays. My husband's family loved it. They said it was better than a dairy queen cake. I must admit though I did not healthify it. I used regular ingredients. Also, I could not find chocolate wafer cookies so I used teddygrams. It was absolutely delicious. I will definitly be making it again.
