Preparation

Step 1

Combine the cream cheese, mascarpone, brown sugar, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl. Mix together with a rubber spatula until smooth and combined. Add the crushed cookies and fold together. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (The dip is best if made at least 1 hour in advance.) Bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
