Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese (227 grams, room temperature, 1 brick)
- 4 ounces light Cool Whip (114 grams, ½ tub)
- 16 ounces sugar-free caramel sauce (453 grams)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (85 grams, optional)
For Serving
- Apple slices, fresh (for dipping)
Instructions
- Blend the Base Ingredients: Using a hand mixer, combine the fat-free cream cheese, light Cool Whip, and sugar-free caramel sauce in a mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, creating a creamy caramel dip base.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips to incorporate some texture and sweetness into the dip without breaking their shape.
- Chill or Serve: You can enjoy the dip immediately or refrigerate it for about an hour to allow it to firm up slightly for a better dipping consistency. Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside fresh apple slices for dipping.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before blending to avoid lumps.
- White chocolate chips are optional but recommended for added flavor and texture.
- Use fresh, crisp apple slices such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor contrast.
- Keep the dip refrigerated if not serving immediately; consume within 3 days for freshness.
- Because this recipe uses sugar-free caramel, it’s a great lower-sugar alternative to traditional caramel dips.
