Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) caramel sauce
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Place the softened cream cheese and brown sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy and sugar granules have dissolved.
  2. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Slowly drizzle in the caramel sauce and vanilla extract while continuing to mix. Stop as soon as the caramel is incorporated to maintain structure.
  3. Using a silicone spatula, fold in the sea salt and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Stir by hand for 30 seconds until the color is uniform and texture is silky smooth.
