Ingredients for Witches Brew Cream Cheese Halloween Dip
Here’s what you’ll need to create this magical dip:
- 6 cups Silk Vanilla Almond Milk (or regular milk)
- 3 boxes pistachio pudding (or cheesecake pudding)
- 16 ounces cool whip, thawed
- 16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Gummy eyeballs
- Gummy worms or gummy snakes
How to Make Witches Brew Cream Cheese Halloween Dip
- Prepare the Pudding: Start by pouring the pudding mix into a large bowl. Whisk in the milk for about 3-4 minutes. Don’t worry if the pudding doesn’t thicken much—this is normal when using almond milk or regular milk in this recipe.
- Cream Together: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the pudding mixture and cream cheese. It might look a bit odd at first, but trust the process!
- Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold in the cool whip until everything is well incorporated. If you’re using cheesecake or vanilla pudding, this is the perfect time to add a few drops of green food coloring to give your dip that classic witchy look.
- Serve and Decorate: Pour the dip into a serving bowl, or better yet, a witch’s cauldron for an extra spooky presentation. Stick the gummy eyeballs and worms into the top of the dip, and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
Party Tip for a Bewitching Presentation
Want to use a cute, themed bowl like a plastic cauldron for your Halloween party but don’t want to make a ton of dip? Place a smaller bowl upside down inside the cauldron before filling it with the dip. This way, you’ll need less dip, but it’ll still look full and festive—perfect for smaller gatherings!
What to Serve with This Dip
This Witches Brew Cream Cheese Halloween Dip pairs wonderfully with a variety of dippers. Try serving it with:
- Graham crackers
- Vanilla wafers
- Sliced apples
- Pretzels
- Shortbread cookies
Tips for the Perfect Dip
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the pudding. This will help it blend smoothly and create a creamy texture.
- Customize Your Color: If you want your dip to be extra green and spooky, add a few drops of green food coloring while mixing.
- Make It Ahead: This dip can be made a day in advance. Just store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Storage Instructions
If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely because it’s so delicious!), store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Give it a quick stir before serving again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can use regular milk, almond milk, or any milk substitute you prefer. Just note that the pudding may not thicken as much with some milk alternatives.
