Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 5.5 oz caramel sauce or caramel dip (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup pecans, toasted
Dippers
- Apples or other fruits for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for the dip.
- Assemble the dip base: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over a serving plate or shallow bowl, ensuring a layer deep enough to easily dip into.
- Add caramel and pecans: Generously spread the caramel sauce on top of the cream cheese layer, then sprinkle toasted pecans evenly over the caramel for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: The dip can be enjoyed immediately or refrigerated until ready to serve. If chilled, allow it to sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes to soften, then serve with fresh apple slices or your choice of fruits for dipping.
Notes
- You can adjust brown sugar quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Use homemade caramel sauce for a more personalized flavor or store-bought caramel for convenience.
- To toast pecans, dry roast them in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3–5 minutes.
- For best texture, let refrigerated dip sit at room temperature before serving to soften.
- Try other dippers like pears, bananas, or pretzels for variety.
