Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup caramel sauce
- ⅓ cup toffee bits or chopped pecans (optional)
- 2–3 medium apples, cored and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent apples from browning)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly into a shallow serving dish.
- Pour the caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle toffee bits or chopped pecans on top, if desired.
- Toss apple slices with lemon juice and serve with the dip.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother dip.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and whipped topping.
- Toss sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning if preparing ahead.
- For a sweet and salty twist, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the caramel.
- Add a chocolate drizzle or ganache layer for a chocolate variation.
- Chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts can be used instead of toffee bits.
- Use cold heavy whipping cream for optimal volume if not using whipped topping.
- High-quality jarred or homemade caramel sauce works best.
- Assemble and chill if making ahead, adding caramel and toppings just before serving.
