Ingredients

For The Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Fruit Dip:

  • 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, slightly softened at room temperature for 15-20 minutes
  • ½ cup brown sugar, lightly packed (100 grams)
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar, optional (25 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt (less than 1/8 teaspoon)

Optional Mix-Ins Or Garnishes:

  • Toffee bits like Heath Bits'O'Brickle, caramel sauce, or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Combine. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  • Whip To Dissolve Sugar. Use a hand mixer on low speed, then increase to medium speed to beat and combine the ingredients. Beat at least 2-3 minutes, or until all sugar crystals are dissolved. (It shouldn’t look gritty or feel gritty if you rubbed it between your fingers.)
  • Serve & Store. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with fresh fruit on a fruit tray. Or, you can store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days. (I recommend using a spoon or fork to give it a quick mix before serving if you make it in advance.)
  • Garnish (Optional) If desired, garnish the dip with a sprinkle of toffee bits, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a few mini chocolate chips right before serving.

Notes

  • I recommend full-fat cream cheese here for the best flavor and texture. (Lite or low-fat cream cheese can be watery and clumpy.)
