Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
