Ingredients
2 (8-oz) packages 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 (around 48 crackers)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
Place 1/3 of the Ritz crackers on the bottom of a greased 8×8 baking dish. Top with 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture. Drizzle 1/3 of the caramel sauce over the top. Repeat this for 2 more layers until all ingredients are used.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This will allow the Ritz crackers to soften and the flavors to meld together.
Prior to serving, you can garnish the cake with additional salted caramel sauce, whipped cream, or crushed Ritz crackers, if desired.
Slice and serve the Salted Caramel Icebox Cake chilled. Enjoy!
