Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted if desired)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 cup whipped topping (or whipped cream)
- Graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the brown sugar and powdered sugar using an electric mixer. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and cinnamon (if using), and continue to mix until combined.
- Add the Pecans: Chop the pecans into small pieces and fold them into the cream cheese mixture. If you prefer a chunkier dip, you can leave the pecans in larger pieces for more texture.
- Incorporate the Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping or whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the texture. This step will lighten the dip and give it the perfect consistency.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the dip and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to come together and for the dip to firm up slightly.
- Serve: Serve the dip chilled with your favorite dipping items like graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels. Enjoy the sweet, creamy goodness with a touch of nutty crunch!
