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

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  2. Assemble the Dip Base: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over a serving plate or shallow bowl, making sure it is thick enough to comfortably hold the dip.
  3. Add the Caramel Sauce: Generously spread the caramel sauce over the top of the cream cheese layer to create a rich, glossy topping.
  4. Garnish with Pecans: Sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly over the caramel layer to add crunch and texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with sliced apples or other fruits for dipping. If storing, refrigerate and then allow to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving to soften the dip.

Notes

  • For best texture, use cream cheese at room temperature.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Homemade caramel sauce can be used for a richer flavor.
  • To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until fragrant.
  • This dip pairs well with a variety of fruits including pears, strawberries, and banana slices.
