I love dessert dips because they are totally easy to whip up and people go crazy for these indulgent treats! This Salted Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Dip is no exception. It couldn’t be a more simple recipe and it was definitely a crowd pleaser.
Cookies or graham crackers are perfect with Salted Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Dip because they taste similar to a cheesecake crust. The dip is great with apples too!
I used store bought Dulce de Leche for the caramel. I like that it has a thick consistency and strong flavor. You can find this in many stores, sometimes in the Latin section. Or, you can also make it yourself. Here are a few recipes: How To Make Dulce de Leche by Bakers Royale, Stove Top Dulce de Leche by Smitten Kitchen or Slow Cooker Dulce de Leche by Crazy For Crust.
Or, you can always use the store bought caramel sauce that you can find in the ice cream sundae section of your grocery store. You will get a much sweeter and more mild caramel flavor though.
This also makes a fantastic potluck, game day or holiday dessert! Nobody has to know that it only took you 5 minutes to make. It’s our little secret.
Don’t forget to sprinkle with flaked salt for that salted caramel flavor. Then it sounds fancier when you tell everyone that you made Salted Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Dip. Just wait for the Ooooh’s and Awwww’s.
I use this salt on just about everything >>> Maldon Sea Salt Flakes

What is “DULCHE DE LECHE ‘ ?
Dulce de Leche is heated sweet milk that becomes thick and caramelly. You can usually find it in the hispanic section at the grocery store. Or, I got mine at Trader Joe’s.
Look up Sweet Condenced milk Carmalized and you will find an easy way to make your own.
This looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it. I usually make 6-9 different cookie recipes and give them out at Christmas to different people, but this year, I think I am going to make this and give with a few apples, instead.
What a great idea for a homemade gift!
Is this dip served cold or warmed up?
This is served cold. Enjoy 🙂
Can you make dip ahead and add topping before serving?
Absolutely! Enjoy 🙂
This was so fabulous! Made it for our Octoberfest fire pit with friends. Super easy & so good with crisp apple slices. We had it as dessert!
Im definitely going to try this recipe out during the holiday’s! Thanks for sharing!
Excited! Trying this today. Let you know how it turns out
Awesome! I hope you love it!
My niece brought this to a dinner at church. Delicious stuff! It was a big hit! I’m making it to bring to a Cousins Reunion tomorrow.
Awesome! I’m glad it was a hit!
Can this dip be made without marshmallow Creme?? Can you substitute it with anything else?
I’m not sure what else would work besides marshmallow creme. Maybe frosting?
Hey there! Could I use plain old salt or Himalayan Pink Salt for instead of the flakes? Or maybe something else?
Himalayan salt would work terrific 🙂
I made this and it was delicious. My family loved it. Thank you for sharing.
Always a hit at my house too. Happy New Year!
