Ingredients
Method
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- Mix on medium speed until the sugar is fully incorporated and the base is smooth.
- Toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for five minutes until fragrant.
- Fold two-thirds of the toasted pecans into the cream cheese mixture using a silicone spatula.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining toasted pecans.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully at room temperature to avoid lumps. For a different flavor profile, you can add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
