📖COOKING STEPS
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl whip together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and cool whip. In a 9X9 pie plate, spread the whipped mixture and put in the fridge.
Step 2
In a saucepan on the stove, add all of the pecan pie topping (only 3/4th cup of the pecans) and cook over medium heat until simmer, continuing to stir until the filling has started to thicken. About 3-5 minutes. The mixture will continue to thicken when it cools. Let sit until it’s room temperature.
Step 3
Top the cream cheese mixture with the pecan topping and extra pecans, and let chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge. I think it’s even better the next day. Serve with pretzels.
⭐TIP
You can make this a day before and it will still be delicious the next day. We love it with pretzels! You could also do this with walnuts.
