Introduction

This Oreo Cream Cheese Football Dip is a fun and festive dessert that’s perfect for game day or any sporting event. Creamy, chocolatey, and shaped like a football, it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Plus, it’s easy to make ahead and serve with your favorite dippers.

Ingredients

• 15 OREO cookies (crushed)
• 8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup butter (softened)
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter with an electric hand or stand mixer for 3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
2. Step 2: Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating for another 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reserve 3-4 tablespoons of this cream cheese mixture for the football laces in step 6.
3. Step 3: Mix in the chocolate syrup and crushed OREO cookies until fully combined.
4. Step 4: Transfer the dip mixture to a piece of parchment paper, shaping it into a football. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour until firm.
5. Step 5: Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and place the football-shaped dip on a serving plate. Cover the football completely with mini chocolate chips, pressing gently so they stick and resemble the texture of a football.
6. Step 6: Transfer the reserved cream cheese mixture to a Ziploc or piping bag. Cut off a small corner and pipe the laces onto the football shape.
7. Step 7: Serve with your favorite dippers such as Nilla Wafers, pretzels, or apple slices.

Tips & Variations

• For a stronger chocolate flavor, add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture before chilling.
• Swap mini chocolate chips for crushed nuts or sprinkles for different textures and colors.
• Make the football dip a day ahead—just keep it wrapped and refrigerated until serving.

Storage

Store any leftover dip wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can be chilled again after serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
