Ingredients

Scale

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

  • 5.5 oz caramel sauce or caramel dip (store bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup pecans, toasted

To Serve

  • Apples or other fresh 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 well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Assemble the Dip Base: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over a serving plate or in a shallow bowl to create a layer thick enough for dipping fruit comfortably.
  3. Add Caramel and Pecans: Pour and spread the caramel sauce over the top of the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly on top for added crunch and flavor.
  4. Serve or Store: Enjoy the dip immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. If refrigerated, allow the dip to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving to soften for easy dipping. Serve with sliced apples or your choice of fresh fruits.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for easy mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Toast pecans lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to enhance their flavor before sprinkling on top.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Leftover dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Try substituting apples with pears, strawberries, or banana slices for variety.
