What You’ll Need
- Cream cheese. Soften one 8-ounce block and cut it into cubes so it blends easily as it warms.
- Espresso or coffee-flavored chocolate chips. One 10- to 12-ounce bag gives the dip its mocha flavor.
- Thick caramel sauce. Use 1 cup for a rich caramel flavor and a smooth, scoopable consistency.
How to Make Caramel Macchiato Dip
Add all three ingredients to a small slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 45–60 minutes, stirring once or twice and scraping the bottom and sides. Once the chocolate chips melt, stir until the cream cheese is fully blended and the dip looks smooth and glossy.
If the dip is too thick to scoop, give it a few more minutes on LOW and stir again. Once it’s ready, switch the slow cooker to WARM and stir occasionally during serving.
What to Serve with Caramel Macchiato Dip
Tart apple slices and salted pretzels balance the sweetness of the caramel. For a dessert platter, set out strawberries, shortbread cookies, and bite-size pieces of pound cake.
