Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 2.5 cup Ritz crackers or graham crackers Crushed fine for a firm, sliceable crust.
  • 0.5 cup butter Melted; use unsalted or salted based on your caramel sauce preference.
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar Adds caramel notes to the cracker crust.
Caramel cream layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese Softened so it blends smooth.
  • 0.5 cup caramel sauce Plus extra for drizzling.
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk Provides the creamy, sliceable no-churn set.
  • 2 cup whipped topping Fold in gently to keep the layer airy yet firm when frozen.
Brickle topping
  • 1.5 cup butter brickle toffee bits Divided: 1 cup mixed into the layer and 1/2 cup scattered on top.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 9x13 baking pan

Method
 

Make and freeze the cracker crust
  1. Combine crushed crackers, melted butter, and brown sugar, then press firmly into a 9x13 pan. Freeze for 10 minutes to set the crust.
Mix the caramel cream cheese layer
  1. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then blend in sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce. Mix until the mixture looks glossy and fully combined.
Fold and layer
  1. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped topping gently until no streaks remain. Fold in 1 cup butter brickle toffee bits to distribute evenly.
  2. Spread the caramel cream mixture over the frozen crust in an even layer. Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top and scatter the remaining butter brickle toffee bits.
Freeze to set
  1. Freeze the slab at least 6 hours before scooping. Let it sit 5 minutes at room temperature for cleaner slices and a neater caramel-brickle topping.

Notes

Pro tip: press the crust tightly and keep it level so the caramel-cream layer slices cleanly. Store covered in the freezer up to 2 weeks; thaw in the fridge for about 15–20 minutes only if you want softer scoops. This is freezer-friendly (no baking needed). For a dietary swap, use a reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping to lower calories while keeping the texture similar.
