- 1 cup pecans
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
Step 1
Toast the pecans: Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast them for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove them from the heat and allow them to cool completely before chopping into small pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese and allow it to come to room temperature for easier mixing.
Step 3
Add the honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Fold in the chopped toasted pecans evenly using a spatula.
Step 5
Transfer the Honey Pecan Cream Cheese to a serving dish or an airtight container. If not serving immediately, store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Step 6
Serve chilled or at room temperature with bagels, crackers, or fresh fruit.
