Note

For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before beating to avoid lumps.

You can substitute pecans with walnuts, almonds, or omit nuts entirely for a nut-free version.

Store finished fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.

If the fudge is too soft after chilling, return it to the fridge for an additional hour.
