Equipment
Method
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for easy mixing.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
- Add brown sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
- Slowly pour in caramel sauce while beating until incorporated.
- Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Top with extra caramel, nuts, or cinnamon if desired. Serve with apple slices, pretzels, or graham crackers.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. Want it tangier? Increase cream cheese. For a deeper flavor, use dark brown sugar and a high-quality caramel sauce. Optional mix-ins: chopped pecans, cinnamon, or a drizzle of extra caramel on top.
