Cheesecake Dip
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp heavy cream

- 1/3 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 5.5 oz caramel sauce or caramel dip (store-bought or homemade)
Toppings & Serving
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans

- Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Caramel Sauce: Gently fold in the caramel sauce or caramel dip into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a rich, sweet dip base.
- Toast Pecans: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Assemble the Dip: Transfer the caramel cheesecake dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Arrange sliced apples or a variety of fresh fruits around the dip. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to enhance flavors before serving.
