No Bake Pecan Pie Dip
This Pecan Pie Dip is made with creamy, fluffy, sweet cream cheese and whipped cream topped with a homemade pecan caramel sauce. This has all of the flavors of pecan pie without all of the work. A sweet and delicious holiday appetizer.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- (1) 8-ounce pkg. Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 3/4 cup Heavy Cream (whipped)
Pecan Pie Filling:
- 4 Tablespoons Salted Butter
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1 cup Pecans
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
This recipe is inspired by Lady Kay on TikTok. Thank you! I changed the Cool Whip to homemade whipped cream, the amount of powdered sugar, the amount of butter, the amount of corn syrup, the amount of vanilla, etc.
