Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups pecans, toasted and chopped
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Mix on medium speed until the sugar is fully incorporated and the base is smooth.
  4. Toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for five minutes until fragrant.
  5. Fold two-thirds of the toasted pecans into the cream cheese mixture using a silicone spatula.
  6. 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.
