Description
This Kahlua Caramel Mascarpone Dip is my new favorite thing to dip apples in! It’s decadent and sweet with a touch of coffee flavor from the Kahlua and goes perfectly with tart green apples for dipping!
Ingredients
- FOR THE KAHLUA CARAMEL SAUCE:
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- ⅓ cups Kahlua
- ¼ cups Salted Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- FOR THE MASCARPONE DIP:
- 8 ounces, weight Mascarpone Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ½ cups Kahlua Caramel Sauce:
- ½ cups Roasted, Salted Cashews, Chopped
- FOR SERVING:
- 3 whole Granny Smith Apples, Sliced
- Pinch Of Cinnamon
Preparation
For the Kahlua caramel sauce:
In a saucepan over medium low heat, combine all ingredients. Whisk until butter is melted and mixture begins to bubble. Once bubbling, continue to cook for 5–6 minutes, whisking occasionally until caramel thickens slightly and mixture is smooth. Take off heat, it will continue to thicken while caramel cools.
For the mascarpone dip:
While caramel sauce is cooling, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl. Spread on a serving plate and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
The caramel should be at room temperature by this point, so pour 1/2 cup of caramel over mascarpone dip. Place back in the fridge for 1 hour.
Sprinkle chopped cashews over caramel layer and serve with sliced apples. Drizzle more caramel on top if desired and sprinkle apples with a little cinnamon. Serve immediately.
