Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 pieces Pecan halves
- 100 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 20 grams Chopped pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or microwave to lightly toast the pecan halves. Toast them for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then set aside to cool completely.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Let this cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until fully incorporated and the filling becomes rich and smooth.
Take one pecan half and place a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of the chocolate filling on the flat side. Gently press another pecan half on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining pecan halves and filling.
If desired, roll the edges of the stuffed pecans in chopped pecans for garnish and added texture.
Place the stuffed pecans on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the filling to set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
