By kayjayjohnson

Ingredients

• 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans, plus more for topping (optional)
• 1 16-ounce can jellied cranberry sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl with a mixer until creamy (it should be spreadable). Beat in the pecans.

Put the cranberry sauce in a bowl and mash with the back of a fork.

Spread about half of the mashed cranberry sauce in the bottom of a bowl or parfait dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the cranberry sauce, then gently cover with the remaining cranberry sauce. Top with more pecans, if desired.
