Easy 5 Minute Dessert Dip Recipe

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.

    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.

    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?

      I don’t know for sure. It isn’t super thin so it may hold up in log form. That is a super fun new way to serve it πŸ™‚

    Can it be made ahead to give as a gift or does it need to be served immediately after making?

      This will stay good the refrigerator for a couple days so it all depends when you’d be giving it to the giftee πŸ™‚
