How would you like to have all the deliciousness of a pecan pie without the work of actually making pie<\/a>? This no-bake pecan pie dip has the flavor you will love, but without the effort that goes into making the actual baked good. And what\u2019s more, you can enjoy this pecan pie dip recipe with many of your favorite foods.<\/p>\n As easy as a bit of mixing and a bit of simmering, this is a recipe that anyone can follow. In fact, the only hard part about it is waiting for the pie dip to chill properly before you enjoy a taste. Once you do, you\u2019ll see it was all worthwhile.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese at medium speed until it’s smooth, three to four minutes. Then, reduce the speed to medium-low and add the confectioners’ sugar and whipped topping, mixing it until fluffy, which will take two to three minutes. Spread this blend into an even layer in a pie dish and refrigerate it.<\/p>\n In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract and salt. Heat this mixture over medium heat and bring things to a simmer. Once the liquid is bubbly, stir in the pecans. Remove the pan from the heat and cool it for 10 minutes. Then, pour the mixture over the cream cheese layer. Cover and refrigerate the dish for at least one hour.<\/p>\n Serve the dip with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, apple slices and more.<\/p>\n You can store this pecan pie dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze this pie dip in an airtight container or wrapping for up to three months. Let it thaw for three to four hours or even overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n As noted, you can serve this dip with apples<\/a>, vanilla wafers or graham crackers<\/a>, but also try it with pretzels or even pie crisps.<\/p>\n Frozen whipped topping is a cream-based foodstuff, but it also has ingredients including sugar, hydrogenated oils and more.<\/p>\n As laid out here, there are about 220 calories per serving when you separate it out into 16 portions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This sweet and creamy pecan pie dip is a delight when enjoyed on anything
