Mama Mary's Turtle Sundae

Posted by Lori:
I was so excited last summer when I purchased a Mama Mary's Pizza Crust and there was an ad for a recipe contest. Recipe contests have always been something I thought would be fun to enter, so decided to create something and enter.  This recipe was fun to make and our children especially enjoyed the new treat.  I anxiously awaited the announcement of the winners of the contest for that particular quarter and then later on for the 2009 year. Unfortunately, after months of waiting, the company didn't ever release the names of the winners. Maybe they have by now, but eventually I just gave up on ever seeing any type of results.  Oh well, at least a new treat was added to our list of favorites!

Mama Mary's Turtle Sundae

1 Mama Mary's 12' Thin and Crispy Gourmet Pizza Crust
1 stick butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1 bottle caramel ice cream topping
1 bottle chocolate syrup
1 can whipped topping
1/2 cup chopped pecans
6 maraschino cherries (with stems)

Cut unbaked pizza crust into six traditional shaped slices. Cut each slice into four triangle or wedge-shaped pieces. Place pieces on 10 x 15 inch baking pan. Brush each piece with melted butter or margarine. In small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of sugar/cinnamon mixture on top of pieces and broil in oven until lightly browned.  (Watch carefully so that it doesn't burn.) Turn pieces over and brush with melted butter or margarine. Top with remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture and broil again until lightly browned.

In small bowl or on small dessert plate, place 6 cinnamon/sugar pizza crust triangles/wedges. Top with two or three scoops of ice cream. Drizzle caramel ice cream topping and chocolate syrup over top of ice cream and triangles/wedges. Top with whipped topping, chopped pecans, and a cherry. Serve immediately Pin It Now!
