If you are ready to make this delicious sweet dip, then let’s make sure you have everything you’ll need
Ingredients:
- cream cheese – you can use original or 1/3 less fat (Neufchatel)
- marshmallow creme – also known as fluff
- powdered sugar – this will sweeten the cheesecake dip
- dulce de leche – you can find this at grocery stores or you can make your own easily with sweetened condensed milk
- pecan pieces – you can usually find pecan pieces in the baking aisle of most grocery stores
- coarse sea salt or kosher salt – I used kosher salt because that is what I had on hand, but sea salt would also work well. It really just needs to be a larger salt crystal. Table salt will not get the desired effect
How do you make Salted Caramel Cheesecake Dip?
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cream cheese, marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, and 2 Tbsp. of the dulce de leche
