Base Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Mix-ins and Toppings
- 1 cup chopped pecans, divided
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1/3 cup caramel dip
- 1/3 cup chocolate syrup
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Mix-ins: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until well incorporated. Then mix in ¾ cup of chopped pecans and ¾ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dip. Transfer this mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and spread it into an even layer.
- Warm the Caramel: Slightly heat the caramel dip in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to soften it, making it easier to drizzle over the dip.
- Add the Toppings: Drizzle the warmed caramel dip and the chocolate syrup over the top of the cheesecake dip in a decorative manner.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chopped pecans and ¼ cup of chocolate chips over the drizzled sauces for a finishing touch. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- You can substitute caramel dip with homemade caramel sauce if preferred.
- This dip pairs wonderfully with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or apple slices for dipping.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
