Base
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Mix-ins
- 1 cup chopped pecans, divided
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Toppings
- 1/3 cup caramel dip
- 1/3 cup chocolate syrup
- Combine Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming the cheesecake base.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Mix-ins: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Then add ¾ cup of chopped pecans and ¾ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until evenly distributed. Transfer this mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and spread it into an even layer.
- Prepare the Caramel Drizzle: Warm the caramel dip briefly in the microwave, about 10-15 seconds, just enough to soften it for easy drizzling. Drizzle the caramel dip along with the chocolate syrup evenly over the cheesecake layer.
- Add Final Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chopped pecans and ¼ cup of chocolate chips on top of the drizzled caramel and chocolate syrup to finish the dip. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- The caramel dip can be substituted with caramel sauce if preferred.
- Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices, or your favorite dippers for fun textures.
- This dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days—cover tightly to maintain freshness.
