Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 1 cup Whipped cream
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes to make it easier to mix.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix on low speed until the sugars are fully incorporated, then increase to medium speed and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes until fluffy.
Pour in the caramel sauce and gently fold it into the mixture using a spatula until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whip the whipped cream until lightly fluffy, ensuring not to overwhip. Gently fold the whipped cream into the caramel mixture in two batches until fully incorporated and airy.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and swirl a small amount of additional caramel sauce on top for decoration, if desired.
Serve immediately with sliced fruits like apples, strawberries, grapes, or pretzels and crackers. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days before serving.
