Ingredients

Crust:

1 family-sized package of Oreos
⅓ cup unsalted butter melted

Filling:

2 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese softened
2 3.4 ounce packages instant vanilla pudding POWDER ONLY
2 & ½ cups whole milk
½ cup prepared caramel sauce

Topping:

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly:

1 cup prepared caramel sauce
1 cup hot fudge sauce
1 cup chopped pecans
15 turtle candies optional

Instructions

Place the Oreos into a food processor, pulse until crumbs are formed. Take out 1 and ½ cups of the cookie crumbs and set aside. Toss the rest of the cookie crumbs with the melted butter, press into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, no need to grease.
In a body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, whip the cream cheese until completely smooth on medium-low speed. Add in the pudding powder and mix until smooth. Add in the milk a little at a time on low speed until thoroughly mixed. If you add all the milk at once there will be lumps. Add in the caramel and mix it in well. Pour this on top of the cookie crumbs.
Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs on top. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce and half of the hot fudge sauce for assembly on top. Sprinkle half of the chopped pecans on top.
Place the heavy cream into a large bowl along with the powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip on medium-low speed with a hand mixer or in the stand mixer until soft peaks form. Spread this on top of everything. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours to set up, overnight is best. (To get a clean cut like the photos, freeze overnight, then cut and serve.)
Before serving, garnish with the remaining caramel, hot fudge sauce, chopped pecans, and turtle candies.

Notes

To get a clean cut like the photos, freeze overnight, then cut and serve. The pudding will resemble "ice cream" filling. If you don't want that then let it sit out for 30 minutes- hour before serving.
