Ingredients (Serves 6)
1 cup (100g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
1 large tortilla or flatbread (for hat shape)
Optional: 1-2 drops green food coloring (for a magical hue)
Tortilla chips or veggie sticks (for dipping)
Instructions
Prep the Cheese: Secure the crank cheese grater to your countertop with its stable suction base. Attach the 2-blade set and use the food pusher to safely shred the mozzarella into fluffy pieces. The sharp premium blades ensure smooth, even cuts.
Mix the Dip: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended and creamy. For an extra magical touch, add a couple of drops of green food coloring if desired.
Shape the Hat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or use a microwave. Spread the cheese mixture into a wide, shallow circle on a serving platter to form the hat’s base. Use a knife to cut the tortilla or flatbread into a triangle for the hat’s peak. Place the triangle upright in the center of the cheese mixture.
Heat and Garnish: Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or microwave for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove and sprinkle chopped parsley around the base for a witchy brim effect.
Serve: Let cool slightly and serve warm with tortilla chips or veggie sticks for a spooky, flavorful dip that enchants your Halloween party.
Tips and Variations
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a fiery witch’s brew twist.
Veggie Boost: Mix in shredded carrots (2-blade set) for added color and crunch.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days; reheat before serving.
Pairing: Serve with black tortilla chips for an eerie contrast.
