you're making mealtime meaningful.
We’ve been on a serious dessert dip kick lately, and it doesn’t look like our obsession will be slowing down anytime soon. They’re simple to whip up, easy to transport, and loved by all. Today’s recipe has a late summer feel to it, but is tasty enough that you’ll want to make it all year long. We present to you… Peach Pecan Dip! Any Southerner knows that peaches and pecans are a match made in heaven and this dish certainly drives that idea home. Let’s get into how it’s made.
Start things out by toasting your pecans in a generous amount of butter, then mix in a little brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook until the nuts are delightfully sticky then remove from heat. While the pecans cool, beat together the cream cheese and cool whip until smooth. You’ll then spread the creamy mixture in a 8×8-inch baking dish or pie dish. Top it off with your favorite peach jam or preserve and sprinkle with the cooled pecans. The final results will have you licking your lips!
While this dip is definitely on the sweet side, I think you could still get away with serving it as an appetizer, especially with pretzels or a savory dipping vehicle. No matter the occasion, this Peach Pecan Dip is sure to be a favorite with everyone who tries it. Give it a go for your next party and see for yourself!
