Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a medium mixing bowl.
- Beat the ingredients together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- If the dip seems too thick for your preference, add the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time, mixing until you reach your desired consistency. This dip tastes best when slightly thinner.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately with fresh fruit like apples, strawberries, or grapes, or chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- This dip tastes similar to caramel when paired with apples.
- For a tangier flavor, substitute 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of sour cream.
- Prepare this easy fruit dip recipe up to two days ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator.
