Equipment

small pot
baking sheet
mixing bowls

Ingredients

Dip

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Ghost Cookies

  • 24 Arrowroot cookies , or your choice of cookie
  • 4 ounces white chocolate
  • 48 eyes or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Blueberry Sauce

  • In a small pot, place frozen blueberries, sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Boil until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and lemon juice.
  • Remove blueberry mixture from heat, pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir.
  • Add back to medium high heat and bring to a boil again. Cook until thick and the sauce is no longer cloudy. This should take only about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and cool. Chill in refrigerator once cooled enough.

Cookies

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, add the white chocolate. Chop into small pieces to make it easier to melt.
  • Warm for 20 second intervals, about 3-4 times, stirring in between each interval.
  • Once almost all the chocolate has been melted, continue stirring. The residual heat from the dish will help melt the remaining chocolate without overcooking it.
  • Place in a larger bowl filled with hot water. This will keep the chocolate warm long enough to frost the cookies.
  • Using a spoon, or a flat spatula, frost each cookie. Place on prepared baking sheet. Place 2 eyes on each ghost.
  • Place baking tray in refrigerator so the chocolate will harden.

Assembly of Dip

  • In a medium bowl, place cream cheese. Heat for about 20-30 seconds to warm slightly.
  • With a hand mixer, whip the cream cheese until very smooth and soft.
  • Reserve about 2 Tablespoons of sauce for garnish. Add cooled blueberry mixture to the cream cheese. Gently fold in until incorporated.
  • Gently fold in the whipped topping. Place dip in a decorative bowl and garnish with reserved blueberry sauce.
  • Serve with chocolate covered ghosts. Also delicious as a dip for pretzels, or assorted fruit.
