Ingredients
Cheesecake Dip
- 7 ounces Cream Cheese softened
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream whipped to stiff peaks
- 1/3 cup Caramel Sauce
Topping
- Additional Caramel Sauce for drizzling
- Crushed or Whole Vanilla Wafers
For Serving
- 2-3 Apples sliced
- Lemon Juice optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until almost combined.
- Add the caramel sauce and gently fold it into the mixture until evenly distributed. Don't overmix so the whipped cream stays light and airy.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the dip to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- Transfer the chilled dip to a serving dish. Top with additional caramel and crushed or whole vanilla wafers.
- Serve with fresh apple slices. If preparing the apples ahead of time, toss them with a little lemon juice to help prevent browning.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Make sure the heavy cream reaches stiff peaks before folding it into the cream cheese.
- Slightly warm very thick caramel to make it easier to fold into the mixture.
- Chill the dip for at least 2 hours for the best consistency.
- Add vanilla wafers immediately before serving so they stay crisp.
- The dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance.
