Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Dip Base
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (add more to taste)
Toppings and Serving
- 5.5 oz caramel sauce or caramel dip (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup pecans, toasted
- Apples or other fruits for dipping
Instructions
- Combine the base ingredients: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until smooth and fully combined. This mixture should be creamy and slightly fluffy.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture: Transfer the cream cheese mixture to your serving plate or a shallow bowl, spreading it evenly and making it a little deep to provide enough space for dipping.
- Add the caramel and pecans: Carefully spread the caramel sauce evenly over the cream cheese layer. Then, sprinkle the toasted pecans on top for a crunchy, nutty contrast.
- Serve or store: Enjoy the dip immediately with sliced apples or your choice of fruits. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate. Before serving, allow it to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften for easier dipping.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more brown sugar or caramel sauce according to your taste preference.
- For a homemade caramel sauce, refer to your preferred recipe to keep the dip fresh and more natural.
- To toast pecans, dry roast them in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- This dip pairs well with a variety of dippables such as pears, strawberries, or graham crackers.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
