Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 6 cups Silk Vanilla Almond Milk (or regular milk)
- 3 boxes pistachio pudding mix (or cheesecake pudding mix)
- 16 ounces cool whip, thawed
- 16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- Green Food Coloring (optional)
Garnishes
- Gummy Eyeballs
- Gummy Worms or Gummy Snakes
Instructions
- Mix pudding with milk: Pour the pudding mix into a large bowl and whisk in the almond milk thoroughly for about 3-4 minutes. The mixture won’t thicken as much as traditional pudding because of the almond milk, but it will be smooth and well combined.
- Cream cheese and pudding mixture: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese and the prepared pudding mixture. Beat together until well blended; the texture may look unusual but keep mixing for a smooth consistency.
- Fold in cool whip: Gently fold in the thawed cool whip into the cream cheese and pudding base, mixing just until all ingredients are incorporated evenly and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add color (optional): If using, add green food coloring now to tint the dip a vibrant green, stirring gently to evenly distribute the color.
- Transfer and garnish: Pour the dip into a serving bowl or a Halloween-themed cauldron. Decorate the top by placing gummy eyeballs and gummy worms or snakes into the dip to create a spooky effect.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the dip until ready to serve to allow flavors to meld and to keep it fresh and cool for your guests.
Notes
- For extra Halloween fun, add green food coloring to achieve a witchy green color, especially if you use cheesecake or vanilla pudding flavors instead of pistachio.
- A great party tip is to place a small bowl upside down inside a plastic cauldron before filling it with dip to reduce the amount needed, making it perfect for smaller gatherings while keeping the cauldron looking full.
