• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

(1) 8-ounce pkg. Cream Cheese ((softened))

1 cup + 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar

3/4 cup Heavy Cream ((whipped))

4 Tablespoons Salted Butter

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup

1 cup Pecans

1 to 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Directions

Add the softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl. Whip for 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides and the bottom of the bowl twice to ensure there aren't any clumps. Add in powdered sugar and whip for 1 minute longer.

In a bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Carefully fold into the cream cheese mixture. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for 1-2 hours.

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and Karo syrup. After everything is melted together, add pecans. Let cook for about 3-4 minutes until it is lightly simmering. Add vanilla extract.

Set aside to come to room temperature, about 15-20 minutes. The caramel pecan sauce will stiffen as it cools.

Spread the cream cheese whipped cream mixture on a plate. Top with caramel pecan sauce (make sure it isn't too hot).

Serve with fresh apple slices, butter waffle cookies (Trader Joe's), graham crackers, Biscoff cookies, crackers, or French bread slices.
