What Cream Cheese Should You Use?

Choosing the right cream cheese for this recipe is a crucial step towards achieving the perfect balance of creaminess and flavor. It’s recommended to use full-fat, brick-style cream cheese for the richest and creamiest texture.

Avoid whipped or spreadable cream cheese as they contain more air and moisture, which could make your dip less dense and flavorful. Always bring your cream cheese to room temperature before using it in this recipe to ensure it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.

Don’t shy away from experimenting with flavored cream cheeses, such as vanilla or caramel, for an extra twist of taste.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• ¼ cup caramel sauce
• 4 oz. cream cheese, room temp
• *optional* extra caramel sauce and cinnamon for garnish

How to Make Caramel Apple Dip:

1. Add cream cheese and brown sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer, and beat until creamy.

2. Using a rubber spatula, put the cream cheese/brown sugar mixture into a separate small bowl. Set aside.

3. Add heavy cream and vanilla to the bowl of the electric mixture and beat for about two minutes, or until stiff.

4. Pour the caramel into the whipped cream and mix well.

5. Add cream cheese mixture back into the mixing bowl and mix until smooth and creamy.

6. Store in refrigerator

Recipe Tips

• To enhance the caramel flavor, you could try using a homemade caramel sauce instead of a store-bought one. This will give your dip a more authentic, rich and buttery flavor.
• For a touch of warmth and spice, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cream cheese mixture.
• If you’re serving this at a party or gathering, consider providing a variety of dippables. Apples, pears, pretzels, and ginger snap cookies all pair wonderfully with this dip.
• For a lighter version, you could substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk. Keep in mind that this will make the dip less rich and creamy.
• Remember, it’s essential to serve this dip at room temperature. Take it out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving to let it soften. This will make it easier for your guests to dip their chosen treats into it.
