Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk to blend the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the Pecan Topping: Spread the cream cheese base evenly in a serving bowl. Sprinkle the chopped pecans generously over the top to create a crunchy contrast to the creamy base.
  3. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly, making it perfect for serving with crackers, cookies, or fruit.

Notes

  • For a spiced twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Use toasted pecans for an extra deep nutty flavor.
  • This dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels for delicious variety.
