Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Apple slices for serving
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the cream cheese, to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and use an electric mixer to beat until completely smooth and free of any lumps, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed to prevent sugar from flying out of the bowl. Continue mixing until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and mix briefly to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the dip.
- Gently fold in half of the caramel sauce, creating a marbled effect by not fully mixing it in. This will create beautiful swirls in the final dip.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top for an attractive presentation.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the texture to set.
- Before serving, let the dip sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Arrange fresh, crisp apple slices around the dip and serve immediately.
- Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- • Room temperature ingredients are crucial! They blend more smoothly and create a luxurious texture. • Use an electric mixer for the smoothest, lump-free consistency. • Don't overmix the caramel—those beautiful swirls are part of the charm! • Choose crisp, fresh apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best dipping experience. • For extra decadence, try drizzling additional caramel or sprinkling chopped nuts on top. • Make ahead and chill for even more intense flavor melding. • If the dip becomes too firm in the refrigerator, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
