Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 48 Ritz crackers
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream (divided)
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water until dissolved. Cook without stirring until deep amber in color. Carefully whisk in sea salt and heavy cream until smooth. Cool before using.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: Beat softened cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add remaining heavy cream and vanilla extract; beat until fluffy.
  3. Assemble the cake: Line an 8×8-inch dish with plastic wrap, layer 16 Ritz crackers on the bottom, spread 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture, drizzle with 1/3 of the caramel sauce. Repeat layers twice more, finishing with cream cheese on top.
  4. Chill: Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight.
  5. Serve: Lift out using plastic wrap, cut into squares, and garnish with whipped cream and extra caramel.
