Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup peach preserves
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Graham crackers for serving
Instructions
- Remove cream cheese from refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes to ensure smooth mixing.
- In a medium mixing bowl, place the softened cream cheese and use an electric mixer or whisk to beat until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the peach preserves using a spatula, stirring until the preserves are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
- Carefully fold in the chopped pecans, reserving a small portion for garnishing the top of the dip if desired.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula.
- If desired, sprinkle the reserved chopped pecans on top of the dip for added texture and visual appeal.
- Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and for the dip to firm up slightly.
- Before serving, remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Serve chilled with graham crackers for dipping, and enjoy!
Tips
- Soften the Cream Cheese: For the best texture, ensure your cream cheese is softened at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing. This will help you achieve a smooth and creamy dip without lumps.
- Mixing Technique: Use an electric mixer for a fluffy consistency, but if you prefer a more rustic texture, a whisk will work just fine. Just be sure to mix until the cream cheese is completely smooth.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to get creative! You can add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor, or swap out the pecans for walnuts or almonds if you prefer.
- Chill for Best Results: Allow the dip to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This not only enhances the flavors but also helps the dip firm up slightly for easier dipping.
- Presentation Matters: When serving, consider garnishing with additional chopped pecans or fresh peach slices for a beautiful presentation that will wow your guests!
- Serving Suggestions: While graham crackers are a classic choice, this dip also pairs well with sliced apples, pretzels, or even mini cookies for a fun and varied dipping experience.
