Creative Ways to Use Cream Cheese Pecan Frosting

Pecan cream cheese frosting is a versatile upgrade for everyday snacks and toppings. Its rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture make it a delicious addition for bakers and snackers alike.

Feel free to get creative with it! Here are some of our recommendations:

Classic cakes and cupcakes: Apply a generous amount of this frosting on carrot cake, red velvet or pumpkin spiced cake or cupcakes for a Southern-inspired finish. Four cups of frosting is about enough to frost a Bundt cake or a three-layer cake.
Cookie sandwiches: Spread between two oatmeal, ginger or snickerdoodle cookies for a decadent treat.
Cinnamon rolls: Slather on warm cinnamon rolls to upgrade that traditional cream cheese frosting.
Sweet dip: Serve this frosting in a dish alongside a variety of fruit, graham crackers or pretzels for a unique appetizer or snack at your next gathering.
Bagels: Swap out plain cream cheese for this pecan-studded version on bagels and boost your breakfast or midday snack.
