This Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Dip recipe, perfect for any occasion, is packed with caramel and pecans. It takes minimal effort to prepare and can be served with more than fruits!
Recipes like this fruit dip are great to take to holiday events, when you need a dessert or dish to pass. I can almost guarantee that you’ll bring home an empty bowl.
How To Store Pecans
It’s no secret that pecans are expensive. Save money by buying them in bulk before the holidays and freezing them until you need them. Out of the shell and frozen properly, these nuts have a freezer life of approximately two years. Any airtight container will do.
Quick Tips
Just a couple of quick tips, before you put this cheesecake fruit dip recipe together. Allow the cream cheese to warm to room temperature and use a refrigerated stainless-steel bowl to prepare the whipping cream. Doing both of these things makes the entire process a whole lot easier and your dip as smooth as it can possibly be.
Apples are probably the best choice to serve with this cheesecake fruit dip. Other possibilities include pears, strawberries and bananas. Honestly, it’s really just a matter of taste. Consider peeling the apples if you’re serving this to younger children. This eliminates the possibility of choking on the skin.
You can easily substitute the vanilla for another flavouring such as almond. Even half and half would work well. This is one of those fruit dips where you have a little bit of “wiggle room” when it comes to creativity in the kitchen.
That being said, it’s easy to switch out plain cream cheese with the pineapple or strawberry version that many grocery stores carry. Another fun (and yummy) idea is to drizzle chocolate or hot fudge sauce on top of the caramel layer.
