25 minWhen you want something that feels fancy but takes less time than a sitcom episode, this mousse delivers.
Butter-toasted pecans get folded into a whipped cream cheese base sweetened with both white and brown sugar. The brown sugar adds that warm, caramel-butterscotch note that makes this taste like butter pecan ice cream in mousse form.
Billowy whipped cream gets folded in at the end, keeping everything light and airy.
Spoon it into glasses, top with a few extra toasted pecan pieces, and watch it disappear.
Kitchen Tips
- Toast the pecans in butter until golden and fragrant; this is where the “butter pecan” flavor really comes from
- Chop the pecans fine so they distribute evenly through the mousse
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened or you’ll get lumps that won’t fold out
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best set
