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.
Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the ingredients together 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, slowly mix in the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the dip and adjust sweetness if necessary.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with fresh fruit or cover and chill for up to 2 days.
Notes
Serve this dip alongside apples, strawberries, grapes, and pineapple for a great fruit platter.
For a caramel-like flavor, ensure you pack the brown sugar firmly when measuring.
This dip pairs well with your weekly meal planning for easy entertaining.
