Print Recipe

A no-bake dessert dip that tastes like a slice of cheesecake, with layers of cream cheese, caramel, and crunchy toffee bits. Perfect for fall gatherings and easy to make in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/3 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits
  • Fresh apple slices, for serving
  • Graham crackers or shortbread cookies, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese: Take cream cheese out of fridge 30 minutes before starting, or microwave in 10-second bursts until soft.
  2. Whip the cream: In a medium bowl, whip cold heavy cream with a hand mixer on medium-high until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Mix the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon; beat until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Fold in the whipped cream: Add half the whipped cream to cream cheese mixture and fold gently with a rubber spatula. Add remaining whipped cream and fold until just combined.
  5. Swirl in the caramel and toffee: Drizzle 1/3 cup caramel sauce over dip, sprinkle half the toffee bits, and gently swirl with a knife in a figure-eight motion to create ribbons.
  6. Chill the dip: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours).
  7. Serve and garnish: Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with extra caramel, sprinkle remaining toffee bits, and arrange apple slices and cookies around for dipping.

Notes

Don’t skip the chilling step—it firms up the dip and melds flavors. Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. Granny Smith apples are recommended for tartness. For dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream. For low-sugar, use brown sugar alternative, sugar-free caramel, and sugar-free toffee bits.
