1-Ready to make this tasty dip? It’s super straightforward and fun, starting with gathering your ingredients. First, in a bowl, beat together 8 oz. of full-fat cream cheese, 1 cup of caramel sauce, 1/3 cup of packed dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract), and a pinch of kosher salt until smooth using a hand mixer. This step creates a creamy base that’s the heart of the dip.

2-Next, fold in 8 oz. of whipped topping until fully combined with no streaks remaining, making sure it’s nice and fluffy. Then, transfer the mixture to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until set don’t rush this, as it helps the flavors blend. Before serving, garnish with more caramel sauce, flaky sea salt, and set out vanilla wafers, graham crackers, and apple slices for dipping.
