Perfect for parties and gatherings, this easy-to-make dip features a smooth cream cheese base topped with a warm, caramelized pecan mixture, served alongside crunchy graham crackers or crisp apple slices for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Pecan Topping

  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Cheesecake Dip Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping

For Serving

  • Graham crackers or apple slices (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pecan Mixture: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir continuously until the butter melts and ingredients combine smoothly.
  2. Cook Pecans: Add the chopped pecans to the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the pecans become toasted and aromatic. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
  3. Make Cheesecake Base: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
  4. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream or whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, creating a light and fluffy dip base.
  5. Assemble the Dip: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly in a serving dish. Carefully spoon and spread the cooled pecan topping over the cheesecake layer.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately or chilled with graham crackers or apple slices for dipping. Enjoy this sweet and creamy dessert dip at your next gathering!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is very soft to avoid lumps in the dip.
  • You can prepare the pecan topping ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to assemble.
  • For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping.
  • This dip pairs well with other dippers like pretzels or vanilla wafers.
