Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 x 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) caramel sauce
- 1 tbsp chopped pecan nuts, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to make mixing easier and to achieve a smooth consistency in the dip.
- Mix the dip: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the caramel sauce. Using a hand mixer or spoon, blend until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Optionally, sprinkle the top with chopped pecan nuts to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers such as apple slices, crackers, or pretzels.
Notes
- You can use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own homemade caramel for a fresher taste.
- Make sure the cream cheese is sufficiently softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
- For a thicker dip, chill the mixture for 30 minutes before serving.
- Chopped pecans are optional but provide a nice contrast in texture and flavor.
