- Prepare the Whipped Cream Mixture – Start by whipping together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Then fold in the whipped cream to create a light, fluffy mixture.
- Layer the Crackers and Cream – In a large baking dish, start by placing a layer of Ritz Crackers at the bottom. Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream mixture over the crackers. Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the top.
- Repeat the Layers – Continue layering Ritz Crackers, whipped cream, and caramel sauce until all the ingredients are used. Finish with a final layer of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel.
- Chill the Cake – Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the cake chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the crackers to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy – Once chilled, slice into squares and serve with an extra drizzle of caramel sauce on top.
