An easy to make fall fruit dip that is perfect for Thanksgiving
Yield: 20
Calories: 137cal
Cost: $15
Materials
- 8 oz. cream cheese original or 1/3 less fat
- 13 oz. cream of coconut
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 8 oz. cool whip thawed
Decorations
- 2 blueberries
- 1 candy corn
- 1 tbsp. chocolate frosting in a piping bag with a writing tip or in a baggie with a small corner cut out for writing
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, cream of coconut, sugar, and spice
- Fold in the whipped cream
- Pour into your serving bowl. I used a white cereal-sized bowl
- Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight
- When you are almost ready to serve your dip, start adding the decorations
- Place your bowl on top of a larger platter
- Stack graham crackers so they are level with the bowl - you might have to add one more to make it slightly above the bowl
- Slice a couple of graham crackers in half and place them across the bowl as the hat brim - press them gently down so the fruit dip helps hold them in place
- Tuck some chow mein noodles under the hat brim - you can break some in half for the shorter bangs
- Add blueberry eyes and candy corn nose
- Use a piping bag and writing tip to draw a chocolate smile and stitches
- Pile fruit and cookies up around the scarecrow dip
