Blend to Perfection: In a sizable bowl, meld together cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until achieving a smooth mixture.
Layer Lovingly: Begin with a layer of Ritz crackers in an 8×8 greased baking dish. Follow with layers of the cream cheese mixture and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Repeat these layers twice more, utilizing all ingredients.
Chill and Settle: Envelop the dish with plastic wrap, placing it in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, or optimally, overnight, allowing the crackers to soften and flavors to intertwine.
Garnish and Serve: Embellish with additional caramel, whipped cream, or crumbled Ritz crackers, slicing into this cool, sweet-and-salty delight when ready to serve.
