• Bake for approx. 13-15mins or until mostly set, but still soft in the middle.
• Remove from oven and immediately use a small jar or container to press firmly down in the center to create a well.**
• Cool in pans for 5mins, loosen each slightly by twisting it in the pan. Cool for 5 more minutes then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
• Whip heavy cream until soft peaks (ideally with a cold whisk and in a cold bowl). Add cooled caramel and whip until stiff peaks. Place whipped cream into a large piping bag fitted with a round piping tip.
• Add 1-2 tsp caramel into the bottom of each cookie cup. Place a pecan in the bottom. Chill for 10mins to set caramel. Pipe caramel whipped cream on top. Place a Turtles Bite and a pecan on top, drizzle with more caramel and sprinkle with fine chopped pecans if desired.
