Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 5.5oz caramel sauce or dip (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup pecans, toasted
- Fresh apple slices (or other fruits like pears, strawberries, or grapes)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a serving plate or shallow bowl and smooth into an even layer.
- Gently spoon and spread the caramel sauce over the cheesecake base.
- Sprinkle the toasted pecans generously across the top.
- Serve immediately with fresh apple slices or chill and let sit at room temperature before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture. Choose a thick caramel sauce to prevent runniness. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days, and keep fruit slices separate to avoid browning.
