Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups pecans, toasted and chopped
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed firmly
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the brown sugar and chopped pecans until evenly coated.
  3. Cook for five minutes until the mixture is fragrant and slightly thickened.
  4. Cool the pecan mixture completely to prevent melting the cream layers.
  5. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  6. Fold in the whipped heavy cream gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
  7. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  8. Layer the cream mixture and the cooled pecan mixture into individual serving glasses.

Notes

Toast pecans in a dry pan for three minutes before cooking with sugar to enhance flavor. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Use a piping bag to create neat, professional-looking layers in your glasses.
