Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (add more to taste)
- 5.5 oz caramel sauce or caramel dip (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup pecans, toasted
- Apples or other fruits for dipping
- Cream the Base: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, forming a creamy cheesecake base.
- Spread the Mixture: Transfer the cream cheese mixture onto a serving plate or a shallow bowl, spreading it out evenly with a slight depth so that it is easy to dip into without spilling.
- Add Caramel and Pecans: Evenly spread the caramel sauce over the top of the cream cheese layer. Then, sprinkle the toasted pecans generously over the caramel layer to add crunch and flavor.
- Serve or Store: You can enjoy the dip immediately, or refrigerate it until ready to serve. If chilled, allow the dip to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving to soften for optimal dipping. Serve with sliced apples or your favorite dipping fruits.
Notes
- For homemade caramel sauce, you can follow a trusted caramel recipe or use store-bought for convenience.
- To toast pecans, heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Adjust the brown sugar quantity according to your desired sweetness level.
- This dip is best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Allowing the dip to soften at room temperature before serving enhances the dipping experience.
