Equipment

Ingredients

For the Crust:

2 c Oreos, crushed about 25
5 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

For the Filling:

2 c pecans
8 oz cream cheese full fat
⅓ c caramel sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ c powdered sugar sifted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
8 oz whipped topping aka cool whip

Optional Toppings:

caramel sauce
chocolate sauce
chopped pecans

Instructions

For the Crust:

Crush Oreos in a food processor. Combine with melted butter and stir until mixture resembles wet sand.
2 c Oreos, crushed, 5 tablespoon unsalted butter
Press the mixture into a pie pan and allow to set in the refrigerator while you make the filling.

For the Filling:

Make the pecans into a pecan butter by placing in a blender and blending until smooth. I recommend doing this in approximately 2 minute increments and then letting the pecans rest for a minute or two. If the pecans get too hot, the oil may separate which you don't want to happen.
2 c pecans
Once the pecans are the texture of a smooth butter, combine the pecan butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixture with a paddle attachment until smooth and creamy.
8 oz cream cheese
Add the caramel, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, continuing to blend until smooth.
¼ teaspoon salt, ¾ c powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, ⅓ c caramel sauce
Fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
8 oz whipped topping
Spoon the filling into the pie pan and spread it evenly. Allow to set in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
If desired, drizzle caramel and chocolate sauce on top of the pie before serving. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and top with whipped cream.

Notes

Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften. If the cream cheese isn't softened at room temperature, it may not blend super well resulting in a chunky filling.

Powdered Sugar: Sift the powdered sugar to ensure that the filling is smooth and doesn't have any lumps of sugar.

Pecans: When making the pecans into a pecan butter, don't let the mixture get too hot. Blenders tend to heat things up a little bit as it's getting blended. If the pecans get too hot, the oil might separate out which we do not want to happen when making this recipe.
