Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 cups whipped topping, thawed

2 cups fresh strawberries, diced

½ cup chopped pecans, plus extra for topping

⅓ cup granulated sugar

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fluffy.

Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Take care not to overmix so the mixture remains light and airy.

Add the diced strawberries and most of the chopped pecans. Fold everything together until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Spread the strawberry mixture evenly into the dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans over the top for added texture and flavor.

Just wait until this creamy fluff transforms in the freezer—the texture becomes even more irresistible on the next page.
