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
Directions
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.

This was the second year I made this for an entirely different group of people. They loved it too! I was making turkey sandwiches the next day and put a little on the bread. It was delicious! My husband will eat leftovers for dessert until it is gone.

This was awesome!! I tweaked my recipe a bit. I added some grated orange peel to whole berry cranberry sauce.
I also added a lit bit of powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture for a hint of sweetness.
I must say, this was my favorite thing on our Thanksgiving table this year. It was easy to make, affordable, looked pretty and everyone loved it!

I loved this! However I omitted the mayo, didnt try it just didnt sound appealing.I used homemade cranberry sauce and I added some powdered sugar to the cream cheese and put it in a cute glass dish. The kids loved it and it was a HUGE hit with the adults.
