Ingredients
Chocolate Cheesecake Dip:
- 1 package cream cheese (8 ounces) at room temperature
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick) at room temperature
- 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons sifted powdered sugar
To Decorate and Serve:
- Crushed chocolate cream sandwich cookies enough to cover the dip (about 10)
- Vanilla sandwich cookies such as Milanos
- Black decorating icing
- Candy corn and pumpkins
- Graham crackers, apple slices, and/or pretzels, for serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth.
- Add sifted cocoa powder, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and milk, and mix until combined.
- Gradually add sifted powdered sugar and beat until the dip is light and smooth.
- To create the graveyard, transfer the dip to a serving dish, then spread crushed chocolate cookies over the top for "dirt". Use black icing to write "RIP" on vanilla wafer cookies and stand them upright in the dip as "tombstones". Scatter Halloween candies over the graveyard. Serve with dippers like graham crackers or pretzels.
