Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans (toasted and finely chopped)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and unsalted butter. Ensure both are at room temperature for easy blending.
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the brown sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue mixing until the sugars are fully incorporated and the mixture is fluffy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the toasted, finely chopped pecans by hand, and add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Transfer the praline dip to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Serve immediately with your choice of dippers, such as apple slices, graham crackers, or pretzels. Alternatively, refrigerate for 30 minutes if a firmer texture is preferred.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
