3) Add a layer of frozen whipped topping that’s been thawed.
4) Carefully place 1 Turtle Pie on top of whipped topping.
5) Repeat steps 2-4.
6) Add one more layer of wafers and whipped topping on top. Freeze for 4 hours.

Easy Turtle Pie Icebox Cake
Ingredients
- 2 packages chocolate wafer cookies
- 32 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 turtle pies, from the freezer section
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, I used olive oil
- pecan halves for garnish
Instructions
- Line a 9-inch springform pan with plastic wrap, then add the parchment paper on the sides (forming a ring). Arrange a layer of wafer cookies. Spread 1-2 cups of whipped topping on top of the cookies, spreading out to the edges of the pan.
- Gently press one frozen pie into the whipped topping. Repeat this process (wafers, whipped topping, pie). Add another layer of wafers and top with whipped topping. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
- Take it out of freezer and frost top and sides of cake with more whipped topping. Use an angled cake spatula to smooth the sides, if desired. Return to freezer for 2 hours. Transfer to a cake plate before adding chocolate drizzles.
For the chocolate drizzles
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat another 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Add oil and stir. The chocolate should be a bit soupy. Let cool for about 30 minutes. Add a little more oil if it's too thick. Drizzle onto frozen cake.
For the garnish
- Add dollops of whipped topping (I used a pastry bag fitted with a 1M tip) on top of cake and a border of pecan halves around the base of the cake. Serve immediately or store in freezer. Let cake sit for about 20 minutes befoer cutting.

Hi, this looks lovely! I have a question. I think of icebox cakes as being stored in the fridge, not the freezer. Does this have to be a frozen dessert or could it be kept in the fridge, cold, but not frozen?
This is actually a freezer dessert.
