🦇 How to Make the Triple Chocolate Vampire Bat Dessert Ball
Get ready for easy-to-follow instructions because the Halloween vampire bat chocolate-covered cream cheese ball is so uncomplicated!
Step One: Crush The Oreo Sandwich Cookies For the Vampire Bat Chocolate Dessert Ball
These are for use on the exterior and inside the chocolate ball ingredients.
You can use a food processor to crumble the Oreos so they turn out most powdery-like, or you can use a rolling pin and a zipped plastic bag to crush the chocolate cookies.
Once crushed, please place them in a bowl and reserve one cup separately.
Step Two: Prepare The Cream Cheese Oreo Frosting
You are mixing time for all ingredients to make this fabulous chocolate ball for Halloween dipping! The cream cheese should already be softened, not microwaved, just very soft so you can easily incorporate other ingredients.
Combine the Vampire Bat chocolate dessert ball ingredients with the remaining crushed Oreo cookies, vanilla, Dutch Cocoa, and Confectionary sugar. (note that I used orange and white sprinkles inside the batter for photo purposes to break up the dark so you could see that everything was incorporated!)
Combine very thoroughly.
Next, add in the mini morsels and combine well.
Step 3: Forming the Cream Cheese Oreo Frosting Ball
You are going to be forming the cookies and cream cheese together to create the vampire bat chocolate desert ball and it is wickedly easy, look at our photo.
In this step, you will scrape down the sides of the bowl, ensuring that all the Oreo cookies and cream cheese, cocoa powder, etc., are incorporated. (we are working on forming the Bat-themed chocolate dessert ball that is the main part of the bat body).
As you scrape the sides of the bowl to get all the contents for the cookie and cream ball, begin to form a ball by working the rubber scraper around all sides as you pick up the non-committed mini chocolate morsels, as well as the Oreo and cream cheese debris.
Work the mini chocolate chips in as they try to escape and force lightly into the ball, and you will begin to see a sweet dessert cheese ball take shape, and it will firm a bit.
Cover the vampire bat chocolate dessert ball with the remaining reserved chocolate sandwich cookie crumbles, lightly forcing the crumbs into the exterior to create an outside Oreo-dusted chocolate ball.
Ideally, you will push the crumbs so that they stay atop the ball yet are pushed into its surface without flattening your ball.
Transfer the premade double chocolate chip cheeseballs onto the serving tray.
Dress the vampire chocolate dessert cheese ball with the vampire wings, ears, and eyes, then stock the platter with vanilla wafers for dipping into the Oreo Ball with cream cheese and chocolate chips for Halloween!
