Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup toffee bits
- Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)
- Apple slices for serving
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Add the caramel sauce, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-low speed until combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the toffee bits gently with a spatula until evenly distributed. Reserve a small handful for topping.
- Taste and adjust: add a pinch of flaky sea salt if desired, or more caramel or toffee to taste.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes (optional but recommended) to firm up slightly.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle reserved toffee bits and a light pinch of flaky sea salt on top. Serve with apple slices.
Notes
For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Use thick caramel sauce for a better texture. The dip can be made up to 2 days ahead; add toffee topping just before serving. For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and dairy-free toffee bits.
