Step 3 of 4
Shape the cold ingredients into a ball and use your hands to make the exterior even. Coat the surface of the ball thoroughly with the chopped, toasted pecans. Store in the refrigerator until the moment you intend to present it.
I opted not to use the pecans or shape the mixture into a ball. Instead, I transferred it directly into a storage tub to serve as a spread. I found the taste improved significantly after letting it sit in the fridge for a full night.
