2. Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract together at medium speed using an electric mixer. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

3. Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating at low speed to incorporate it evenly. Continue mixing until the powdered sugar is fully blended and the frosting is smooth.

4. Final Touch: Once the powdered sugar is fully incorporated, increase the mixer speed to high and beat the frosting until it reaches a smooth and fluffy consistency. This usually takes a couple of minutes.

5. Add Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped pecans using a spatula or spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the frosting. The pecans will add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the frosting.

6. Serve or Store: Your Pecan Cream Cheese Frosting is now ready to use! Spread it generously over your favorite cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Alternatively, you can store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it again, as it will firm up when chilled.
