A fluffy cream cheese base is topped with a warm, gooey pecan pie-inspired topping that’s rich, nutty, and totally addictive.

Ingredients

For the Cream Cheese Layer:
8 ounces brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar

For the Pecan Pie Topping:
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 cup finely chopped pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

For Serving:
Apple wedges
Pretzel crisps
Graham crackers


Instructions

In a medium bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar, then whip until fully blended and fluffy.
Spread the mixture evenly into the bottom of a pie dish or shallow serving bowl. Refrigerate while preparing the topping.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, pecans, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a gentle bubble.
Continue stirring and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool for 10–15 minutes.
Stir the pecan topping, then pour it evenly over the chilled cream cheese layer.
Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve. Allow to sit at room temperature or warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving for easier dipping.
Enjoy with your favorite dippers like apple slices, pretzels, or graham crackers.


Notes

Let the pecan topping cool slightly before pouring to avoid melting the cream cheese layer.
This dip can be made a day ahead—store covered in the refrigerator and let come to room temperature before serving.
