Fried Cream Cheese & Caramel Melt

July 31, 2026

Indulge in this irresistible dessert melt, where rich caramel and creamy flavored cream cheese come together in a sweet brioche sandwich, sprinkled with crunchy nuts. But that’s not all—this decadent treat is dipped in flavored coffee cream, then fried to golden perfection for a crispy, buttery finish. Each bite is a heavenly mix of gooey, crunchy, and creamy textures with a hint of coffee-infused sweetness. Easy, quick, and absolutely delicious—dessert just got an upgrade!

Fried cream cheese melt dusted with powdered sugar and crispy golden edges — This cream cheese melt is so good. I like to say it taste like a stuffed doughnut. Perfect for a lake day snack. The crisp edges and gooey center will have everyone asking for more.

Ingredients

Brioche bread
4–6 caramel squares, melted
Philadelphia Honey Pecan Cream Cheese
Chopped pecans
1 cup Coffee mate Vanilla Caramel Coffee Creamer
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Vegetable oil, enough for about 1/2-inch depth in the skillet

Instructions

Assemble the Sandwiches

Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of brioche bread.
Spread melted caramel over one side of each piece of bread.
Spread the honey pecan cream cheese over the bread.
Sprinkle chopped pecans over one side.
Place two pieces of bread together to form a sandwich.

Fry the Sandwiches

Pour enough vegetable oil into a skillet to reach about 1/2 inch deep and heat the oil.
Pour the vanilla caramel coffee creamer into a shallow bowl.
Quickly dip both sides of each sandwich into the creamer. Don't let the bread soak for too long.
Carefully place the sandwich into the hot oil.
Fry until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
Transfer the finished sandwiches to a wire rack to drain and cool slightly.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Enjoy them by themselves or serve warm with your favorite ice cream.
