Ingredients

• 1 cup Pecans
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove from heat and let them cool completely.

Step 2

Place the cooled pecans in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Be sure not to process them too much; a bit of texture is ideal for the spread.

Step 3

Add the softened cream cheese, honey, butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor.

Step 4

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Once fully blended, transfer the pecan spread to a serving bowl or an airtight container.

Step 6

Serve immediately with crackers, toast, or fresh fruit, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Let it come to room temperature before serving if refrigerated.
