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)

Apple slices (for dipping)

Instructions

Step 1: Using a hand mixer, blend the cream cheese, light Cool Whip, and sugar-free caramel sauce together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 2: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Step 3: Serve the dip immediately with apple slices, or refrigerate for about an hour to allow the dip to firm up slightly for a thicker texture.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and regular caramel sauce.

Substitute apple slices with pear slices or pretzels for different dipping options.
If you prefer a smoother dip, skip the white chocolate chips or melt them into the mixture before chilling.

Storage

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or stir gently to soften. This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated slightly in the microwave if it becomes too firm.
