So this was one of the crowd favorites from last year's Halloween Party. I mean really, who doesn't love cannoli dip? This is a super easy dessert that anyone can make, very few ingredients, and tastes delish. That's my kind of dessert.
- 1 8oz. brick of cream cheese, room temp.
- 1 stick of unsalted butter, room temp.
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbs brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- A handful of mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 bag of Oreos, crushed - plus two whole cookies for the eyes
- 2 hershey kisses
- 1 box of cannoli chips (or) sweet pita chips
- 8 black pipe cleaners
Directions:
- Cream together the cream cheese and butter
- Add in both sugars and vanilla, mix until well blended
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips
- Place cream cheese mixture in the freezer for an hour
- Once frozen, shape into a 1/2 sphere onto a plate
- Top ball with the crushed Oreos
- Open the two Oreos making sure that the white cream part is still attached to one side
- Use this side of both Oreos as eyes - just push the cookies slightly into the ball, they should stick on their own, or you could save a bit of the cream cheese mixture and use that as glue to stick them on
- Cut the pointed tops off of two Hershey Kisses with a knife (be careful, this is the only tough part - I cut my finger pretty bad last year which wasn't fun) and push them into the whites of the Oreo eyes
- Bend the pipe cleaners 3/4 of the way up, cut them if need be to fit on the plate you are using
- Add the 8 pipe cleaners to the cheese ball, 4 on each side
- Then just surround the ball with your chips and you are done!
Easy right?!
Here's what is looked like before I added the chips, just so you can see the size.
Happy Halloween Everyone!
