Turtle Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Looking for the easiest pumpkin pie you’ll ever make? Look no further because I’m pretty sure this one takes the cake, or pie for that matter. This Turtle Pumpkin Pie is not only incredibly easy to make, but it is so creamy and delicious! I know everyone loves classic pumpkin pie, but sometimes you need to shake things up.
One thing I love about this recipe is that it is so straightforward and simple that my kids can help me make it, and even better, they can do most of the work.
Pie recipes can be complicated and full of far too many steps and ingredients, and with that said, there usually isn’t much my kids can help me with when I’m making them. Not the case here.
This pie couldn’t get any easier! Holidays are about being together and spending time with one another but sometimes we get caught up in everything and forget about the little things, like making a simple dessert with our kids. The instructions are simple and straightforward, making it even easier for the family to work together. Kids love to whisk the pudding mixes in a large bowl, using a spatula or spoon to fold in whipping cream or spread it on top of the pie, or adding the 1/2 cup nuts like sprinkles.
I love how proud my kids are when they’ve helped with part of the meal and how excited they get to serve it to everyone while letting them know they helped make it.
I hope you love it as much as we do!
