16 Ounces Cream Cheese Softened
1 ⅓ Cups Powdered Sugar
2 Cups Cool Whip Thawed
¾ Cup Caramel Sauce
Additional Cool Whip, Additional Caramel Sauce, Hot Fudge, and Pecans To Garnish

Use a large plastic baggie and a rolling pin to crush Oreos. Pour into a bowl, and combine with melted butter.
Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill for 30-60 minutes.

Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Fold in caramel sauce and Cool Whip.
Pour into prepared crust and chill in the fridge for around 4-6 hours.
Garnish with caramel sauce, hot fudge, Cool Whip, and pecans if desired.

Ingredient Notes:

- Oreos: Crush Oreos in a double plastic baggie using a rolling pin and/or wooden spoon. Double bagging protects against holes or rips.
- Cream Cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese. Allow it to soften at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
  Readers also report dunking the foil-wrapped brick into a bowl of warm water for 5-10 minutes.
- Cool Whip: Thaw Cool Whip overnight in the fridge. Avoid microwaving, which can cause it to separate.
- Be sure to use caramel sauce (sometimes called caramel topping), not caramel syrup. I used Hershey's.

Tips

Crust Hack: Press your cookies into the pie pan using a coffee mug or measuring cup.

Measure Sticky Ingredients With Ease: Spray your measuring cup and spoon with nonstick cooking spray. This will help you get every last ounce of caramel and make cleanup easier too.

Use room-temperature ingredients to help everything come together smoothly without any lumps.

Don't Skip Chilling: The pie needs time to set up so it won't fall apart when you slice it.
