Description

This Graveyard Chocolate Cheesecake Dip is a spooky and festive Halloween treat that combines creamy chocolate cheesecake flavors with a fun and decorative graveyard theme. The dip features a smooth blend of cream cheese, butter, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar, topped with crumbled Oreos to resemble soil. Milano cookies serve as tombstones, decorated with icing, making it a perfect party centerpiece and dip for cookies or crackers.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Dip 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

Decoration

  • 10 crushed Oreos
  • 6 Milano cookies
  • Black icing or melted chocolate, for writing on Milano cookies
  • Candy corn
  • Pumpkin candies
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. 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 for later use.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Use a hand mixer to whip them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Cocoa and Vanilla: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and pure vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Continue whipping until well combined.
  4. Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar while whipping continuously to ensure the mixture remains smooth and well incorporated.
  5. Adjust Consistency with Milk: Add milk one tablespoon at a time, whipping between additions, until the dip reaches your desired smooth, spreadable consistency.
  6. Transfer and Spread: Transfer the dip into a 1-quart serving dish, spreading it evenly to create the base layer of your graveyard scene.
  7. Add Oreo Soil: Sprinkle the crushed Oreos evenly over the surface of the dip to mimic dirt or soil.
  8. Prepare Tombstones: Using black icing or melted chocolate, write Halloween phrases like “RIP”, “BOO”, and “C U LATER” on each Milano cookie. Once decorated, insert them standing upright into the dip to imitate tombstones.
  9. Decorate Graveyard: Scatter candy corn, pumpkin candies, and sprinkles around the tombstones to add colorful, festive accents to your spooky graveyard.
  10. Serve: Serve the dip with extra cookies or crackers for dipping. Enjoy your Halloween-themed chocolate cheesecake dip with friends and family!

Notes

  • For easier spreading, allow cream cheese and butter to soften fully before mixing.
  • Use a zip-top bag and rolling pin to crush Oreos efficiently without making a mess.
  • Adjust milk quantity to control dip thickness – less milk for thicker dip, more for a creamier texture.
  • The Milano cookies can be substituted with any sturdy cookie that can stand upright and be decorated.
  • Store leftover dip covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Let the decorated cookies set before inserting into the dip to prevent smudging the icing.
