Instructions

  1. Mix the base ingredients: In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and brown sugar. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add spices and cream: To the creamy mixture, add vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground clove, and heavy cream. Beat again until everything is fully incorporated and the texture is completely smooth.

  4. Spread into dish: Transfer the dip into a 9-inch pie dish and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Use the spoon to create a decorative swirl pattern on the surface.
  5. Prepare glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the glaze is smooth and pourable.

Notes

  • The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
  • To toast pecans, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with vegan alternatives.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon and spices to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger flavor.
  • Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for the smoothest texture, but a sturdy whisk can also work.
