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.
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

September 5, 2016 atWhat is “DULCHE DE LECHE ‘ ?
Nicole Harris says
September 11, 2016 atDulce 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.
Donna says
December 15, 2017 atLook 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.

June 3, 2018 atCan this dip be made without marshmallow Creme?? Can you substitute it with anything else?
Nicole Harris says
June 3, 2018 atI’m not sure what else would work besides marshmallow creme. Maybe frosting?
Mel says
November 12, 2018 atHey there! Could I use plain old salt or Himalayan Pink Salt for instead of the flakes? Or maybe something else?
