- Granulated sugar 1/3 cup
Instructions / Method
Step 1: The Smooth Prep
Preheat your counter space by lightly greasing a 9×9-inch glass baking dish. Ensure your cream cheese is completely softened to room temperature.
Tip: If you see any tiny lumps while beating the cream cheese with sugar, microwave the bowl for 10 seconds to smooth it out.
Step 2: The Aerated Fold
Once the cream cheese and sugar are whipped and fluffy, gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using a spatula.
Tip: Use a figure-eight motion to keep the mixture light and airy.
Step 3: The Fruit and Nut Toss
Gently fold in the diced strawberries and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. The mixture will take on a soft pink color.
Step 4: The Level Set
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Smooth the top and sprinkle the remaining pecans over it.
Step 5: The Deep Freeze
Place the dish in the freezer for at least 4 hours (overnight is best for clean slices).
Step 6: The Temper and Serve
Let the dessert sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
