Ingredients
Cheesecake Dip
- 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
For Serving
- Apples or other fruits for dipping
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until completely smooth and well incorporated.
- Assemble dip base: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over a serving plate or shallow bowl, creating a slightly thick layer to allow comfortable dipping.
- Add caramel topping: Pour and spread the caramel sauce evenly over the cream cheese layer to create a luscious topping.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the toasted pecans generously on top of the caramel layer to add crunch and flavor.
- Serve or store: Enjoy immediately with apple slices or other fresh fruits, or refrigerate until ready. If refrigerated, allow the dip to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving for a softer texture.
Notes
- Use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own homemade caramel for a personalized touch.
- Toast pecans lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes to enhance their flavor.
- This dip pairs excellently with sliced apples, pears, or even pretzels for a delightful sweet and salty combo.
- If storing leftover dip, keep it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Allowing the dip to warm slightly from the fridge helps it regain a smooth, creamy consistency perfect for dipping.
