  • 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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. 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.
