Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese (softened) – This is the base for that creamy texture!
1 cup powdered sugar – Sweetens things up perfectly.
½ cup brown sugar – Adds depth and that caramel-like flavor.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – A dash of vanilla makes everything better!
1 cup chopped pecans – The star of the show—give them a chop for some texture.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) – A hint of warmth if you like.
Graham crackers or apple slices (for dipping) – Delicious accompaniments!
Instructions
Prepare the cream cheese mixture. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. This is your base!
Mix in the sugars & vanilla. Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until everything is combined and velvety. Don’t worry if it’s a little thick!
Fold in the pecans. Gently stir in the chopped pecans (and ground cinnamon, if using) until they’re evenly distributed throughout. You want that nutty goodness in every bite!
Serve it up! Transfer your dip to a serving bowl or platter. I like to sprinkle a few extra pecans on top for flair!
Enjoy with your favorite dippers. Grab the graham crackers or apple slices, and dive in! This creamy, crunchy dip is perfect for sharing—or not; no judgement here!
Notes
Make ahead! This dip can be made a day in advance—just store it in the fridge, covered, and let it come to room temperature before serving.
Add a twist! Try drizzling some caramel sauce on top for an extra layer of sweetness.
Whether you’re hosting a party or just indulging in a late-night snack, this pecan pie dip is sure to satisfy your cravings. Happy dipping!
