Caramel dip ingredients
The best part of this dip? You only need three common ingredients. Heck, you may even have them in your house right now! Go check and see if you have:
- cream cheese
- brown sugar

Cream cheese – Any variety of cream cheese will work for this recipe.
Brown sugar – You can use light or dark brown sugar here. I do not recommend using plain white sugar.
Caramel sauce – Any brand caramel is perfect. No caramel sauce? You can make your own homemade caramel! It’s easy and so much better than store bought.
You will also need a hand or stand mixer, medium size mixing bowl and a spatula to make this dip.
How to make caramel fruit dip
I know I said the best part was that you only need 3 ingredients, but honestly, the best part is that it’s so easy to make! Mix, mix and mix to make this perfect fruit dip.
Step 1 Mix together the cream cheese and brown sugar. Place your softened cream cheese in the medium mixing bowl along with the brown sugar. Using your handheld mixer, mix until the sugar is combined into the cream cheese and not gritty.
Pro tip: Leave the cream cheese out for about 30 minutes before you make this dip. Don’t have time? Use the soften function on your microwave to quick soften the cream cheese.
Step 2 Combine the caramel After you have a smooth cream cheese and brown sugar mixture, add in the caramel sauce. I like to use a spatula and fold it into the cream cheese mix. Scoop into a serving dish and enjoy!
FAQs about homemade caramel dip

How do I store it? Since there is dairy in this dip, you do want to store it in an airtight container in the fridge. We put ours in a tupperware in the fridge. Thaw slightly before serving.
