Ingredients
Scale
-
- 2 (8-oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1.5 sleeves of Ritz crackers (approximately 48 crackers)
Instructions
-
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Layer the Cake: Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of Ritz crackers at the bottom, covering it completely. Spread a third of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crackers. Drizzle a third of the salted caramel sauce on top. Repeat this process two more times, ending with caramel sauce on the top layer.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This resting period allows the crackers to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a perfectly integrated texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, consider garnishing the cake with a drizzle of salted caramel sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of crushed Ritz crackers for an added crunch. Slice the cake and serve chilled.
