Graveyard Chocolate Cheesecake Dip
This Halloween Graveyard Chocolate Cheesecake Dip combines a rich, cocoa-infused cheesecake base with a fun and spooky decoration. Crushed Oreos form the "soil", while inscribed Milano cookies act as tombstones, creating a miniature edible graveyard that's perfect for your Halloween festivities.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or 2%
- 2 cups powdered sugar
For decoration
- 10 crushed Oreos
- 6 Milano cookies
- Black icing or melted chocolate, for writing on Milano cookies
- Candy corn
- Pumpkin candies
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Soil: Place 10 Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they resemble coarse soil. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Using a hand mixer, whip them together until smooth and creamy.
- To the cream cheese mixture, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Continue to whip until the ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture while continuing to whip. Ensure that the sugar is well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- As needed, add the milk to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, and whip until you reach a smooth and dip-like consistency.
- Transfer the dip to a 1-quart dish, spreading it evenly to form the base of your graveyard.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the dip to form the "soil" of the graveyard.
- Prepare the Tombstones: On each Milano cookie, write phrases such as "RIP", "BOO", and "C U LATER" using the black icing or melted chocolate. Insert these "tombstones" into the dip at regular intervals.
- Decorate the graveyard with candy corn, pumpkin candies, and sprinkles to add a festive and spooky touch.
- Serve the dip with additional cookies or crackers for dipping. Enjoy your spooky Halloween graveyard chocolate cheesecake dip!
