Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225g) full-fat block-style cream cheese, softened
- 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3–4 tablespoons (30-40g) erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 cup (100g) pecan halves, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prep the pecans: Pulse pecans in a food processor until chopped into small, uneven chunks, or chop roughly by hand. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Soften the cream cheese: Ensure cream cheese is soft at room temperature. Microwave for 10-15 seconds if necessary, but do not melt.
- Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Mix with a hand mixer or sturdy spoon until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Fold in the pecans: Gently stir the chopped pecans into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
- Portion and freeze: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of mixture into each cup and smooth the tops. Freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Store: Keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Use full-fat block cream cheese, not whipped or light varieties. Toasting pecans lightly enhances flavor. If using erythritol, grind it into a powder to avoid grittiness. These are soft at room temperature, so keep frozen until ready to eat. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks but will be very firm.
