INGREDIENTS

  • Base Ingredients

    • 2 packages caramel dip singles
    • 1 tablespoon toasted pecans
    • 🧀 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
    • 🧈 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
    • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
    • 🍋 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 🧂 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Stir together caramel dip and 1 tablespoon of the pecans in a small bowl; store in refrigerator until ready to use.

3

Beat cream cheese and butter with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add powdered sugar and brown sugar; beat on low until just combined, about 5 seconds; increase speed to medium-high and beat until smooth, about 30 seconds.

4

Add pudding mix, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon, and 1/3 cup of the pecans; mix until just combined, about 10 seconds.

5

Line the inside of a medium bowl with plastic wrap, leaving about a 2-inch overhang. Place cream cheese mixture into the prepared bowl, pressing down until firmly packed; make a well in the center.

6

Refrigerate, uncovered, until just firm, about 45 minutes.

7

Spoon caramel mixture into the well of the chilled cream cheese. Wrap plastic around the mixture, sealing it into a ball shape.

8

Refrigerate until completely firm, about 2–12 hours.

9

Roll the cheese ball in the remaining pecans to coat. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with additional caramel dip.

10

Serve with apple slices, graham crackers, pretzel chips, and other dippers.
