Ingredients
- 4-6 ounces cream cheese frosting
- 1 pound strawberries
- 1-1 ½ cups finely chopped pecans
Instructions
- Clean, rinse and dry the strawberries. Pour the chopped pecans on plate or cutting board in a thin, even layer.
- Transfer the frosting to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 5 second intervals, stirring between each, until it’s a consistency a little thicker than honey. It should only take 10-15 seconds total to get that perfect consistency.
- Working with one strawberry at a time, carefully hold the steam, submerge into the frosting to about a ¼ inch from the stem, lift and twirl off any excess frosting and roll in the chopped pecans.

Notes
- Strawberry Preparation: Make sure your strawberries are washed and fully dry before dipping. This is essential for the icing to adhere properly.
- Nut Variety: If you're allergic to pecans or don't like them, you can replace them with another nut like chopped walnuts, almonds, or peanuts. The texture will slightly differ.
- Nut Alternatives: If you don't like nuts or want to try another item to roll the strawberries in, you can use crushed Oreo Cookie, graham crackers, or chocolate chip cookies. You can also roll them in crushed pretzels. However, these will have to be served near when they are prepared as these coatings absorb moisture and soften more quickly.
- Chocolate Drizzle: These cream cheese strawberries rolled in pecans are also excellent with a drizzle of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate on top!
- Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting: If you want to opt for a homemade frosting, you can follow this recipe:
- Combine 4 tablespoons room temperature butter, 4 ounces cream cheese, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. If the texture isn't suitable for dipping, microwave in 5-10 second intervals until ready.
