This Easy Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip is a luscious, creamy dessert dip combining smooth cream cheese, rich caramel, and toasted pecans, perfect for dipping fresh apples or other fruits. It’s a quick and crowd-pleasing treat ideal for parties or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)

Toppings

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

For Serving

  • Apples or other fresh fruits for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend all ingredients until smooth and fully incorporated, creating a creamy base.
  2. Spread the Base: Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a serving plate or shallow bowl, spreading it evenly. Aim to keep the layer a bit thick to allow comfortable dipping of fruits without too much mess.
  3. Add the Caramel Layer: Evenly drizzle or spread the caramel sauce over the cream cheese base, creating a luscious caramel topping that pairs perfectly with the tangy cream cheese underneath.
  4. Top with Pecans: Sprinkle the toasted pecans generously over the caramel layer to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor that complements the dip beautifully.
  5. Serve or Store: Enjoy the dip immediately with apple slices or your choice of fruit. If storing, place the dip in the refrigerator until ready to use. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften for the best dipping experience.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Adjust brown sugar to your desired level of sweetness.
  • To toast pecans, dry roast them in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and golden.
  • Caramel sauce can be homemade or store-bought; homemade caramel will add extra depth of flavor.
  • Serve with a variety of dippable fruits like pears, strawberries, or banana slices for variety.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
