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 my husband's birthday yesterday. It is absolutely delicious!! Since I didn't feel that we needed so much sugar either, I took it a step further and used sugar free low fat ice cream and sugar free hot fudge and carmel. It was amazing, my husband said that it rivaled a store bought cake, actually he thought it is better. I did fancy it up just a little. Once I added the pecans to the final layer, I also drizzled it with some of the fudge topping and the carmel, so it not only tasted better than store bought, my husband said it was as pretty as any BR (Baskin and Robin) cake, also.
