Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Base

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

To Serve

Apples or other fresh fruits for dipping

Instructions

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or spoon to combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated to form a creamy base.
Assemble the Dip: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto a serving plate or shallow bowl, creating a slightly thick layer to allow for comfortable dipping.
Add Caramel and Pecans: Pour or spread the caramel sauce over the cream cheese base. Then, sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly on top to add a delightful crunch.
Serve or Store: Enjoy the dip immediately with sliced apples or your choice of fruits. Alternatively, refrigerate until ready to serve. Before serving chilled dip, let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

You can use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own for a fresher flavor.
Adjust brown sugar quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
To toast pecans, lightly heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Try other dipping fruits such as pears, bananas, or strawberries for variety.
Keep leftover dip refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days.
