Ingredients
Method
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, dark brown sugar, vanilla bean paste, and kosher salt until completely smooth.
- Gradually fold in half of the caramel sauce until combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a silicone spatula, using a circular motion to maintain aeration.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce, and finish with a light dusting of sea salt.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality vanilla bean paste and a thick, gourmet caramel sauce. Serve with crisp apple wedges like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. To make keto-friendly, substitute dark brown sugar with an erythritol-based brown sugar alternative.
