Ingredients
  

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup pecans, chopped (reserve a handful for garnish)

1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

A pinch of sea salt

Graham crackers, sliced apple wedges, and pretzels for serving

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until all the sugars are fully incorporated and the mixture is velvety in texture.

    Incorporate Sour Cream: With a spatula, gently fold in the sour cream until the mixture is homogenous. The sour cream adds a delightful tang that balances the sweet flavors beautifully.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This will give the dip a light and airy texture. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula, ensuring not to deflate the whipped cream for that luscious consistency.

        Mix in Pecans and Caramel: Stir in the chopped pecans and 1/2 cup of caramel sauce—reserve some syrup for drizzling later. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweetness and bring all the flavors together.

          Chill the Dip: Transfer the cheesecake dip into a serving bowl or dish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the dip to set slightly.

            Serve: After chilling, take the dip out of the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir to reinvigorate its creaminess. Drizzle with the reserved caramel sauce and sprinkle the reserved chopped pecans on top for an appealing garnish. Serve alongside graham crackers, apple slices, and pretzels to create a delightful dipping experience.
