Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of salted caramel sauce, 1 tablespoon of instant coffee granules, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add the cocoa powder, salted caramel sauce, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to mix on medium speed until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth, about another 2 minutes.
- Once the dip is well mixed, taste it and adjust the sweetness or caramel flavor if desired by adding a bit more powdered sugar or caramel sauce.
- Transfer the cheesecake dip to a serving bowl. You can use a spatula to smooth the top and create a decorative swirl with additional salted caramel sauce if you like.
- For serving, pair the dip with an assortment of dippers such as graham crackers, apple slices, pretzels, or even chocolate chips for a delightful contrast.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and provide a refreshing touch.
- Enjoy your Salted Caramel Mocha Cheesecake Dip with friends and family, and watch it disappear!
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and instant coffee for the most robust flavor profile.
- For an extra luxurious touch, drizzle additional salted caramel sauce on top just before serving.
- If the dip seems too thick, you can thin it slightly with a tablespoon of milk.
- For a more intense coffee flavor, consider using espresso powder instead of instant coffee granules.
- Chill the dip for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and develop.
- Experiment with different dippers like shortbread cookies, banana slices, or even marshmallows for variety.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
