Ingredients:

• 1 packet of Caramel Sea Salt spread mix

• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)

• 1 cup milk (whole milk or heavy cream for a richer texture)

• 1/2 cup sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of the spread mix)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

• Pinch of salt (optional, if you prefer a stronger salty contrast)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:

   • In a medium mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the packet of Caramel Sea Salt spread mix. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine them until smooth and well-incorporated.

2. Add Milk:

   • Gradually add in the milk, a little at a time, whisking constantly to create a smooth, thick consistency. You can adjust the amount of milk depending on how thick or creamy you want the pudding.

3. Chill:

   • Pour the mixture into a bowl or individual serving cups and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, until it thickens into a pudding-like texture.

4. Serve:

   • Serve chilled, and if desired, garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt or caramel drizzle for extra flair.

Serving Suggestions:

• Classic Pudding Cups:

  Serve the pudding in individual cups or small glass jars. You can top with a few flakes of sea salt or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor and visual appeal.

• Parfait Style:

  Layer the pudding with crushed graham crackers or crumbled cookies (such as shortbread or biscoff) in a tall glass for a delightful parfait. You can top it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of sea salt.

• In a Pie Crust:

  For a more decadent dessert, pour the pudding into a pre-baked graham cracker or Oreo crust to create a caramel sea salt pudding pie. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of caramel or a few chocolate chips.

  
  

  Make It Your Own:

• Add a luxurious chocolate touch! Shave some dark or milk chocolate over the top of the pudding before serving, or sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for added texture and richness.

• Add a crunchy, buttery element by mixing in crushed toffee bits or chopped toffee bars. This will complement the caramel flavor and add a sweet crunch.

• For a bit of nuttiness, sprinkle chopped toasted pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts on top of the pudding. The nuts add a delightful crunch and pair beautifully with the caramel sea salt flavor.
