Let’s make some Dragon Cheesecake Dessert Dip that is inspired by the release of My Father’s Dragon. It is now streaming on Netflix for your viewing pleasure. But for now, let’s make a snack that the kids will enjoy.

Ingredients Needed

You will need the following ingredients and supplies needed to make the Dragon Cheesecake Dessert Dip

• 8 Ounce Block of Cream Cheese
• 1 Stick of Unsalted Butter
• Powdered Sugar
• Graham Crackers
• Vanilla Extract
• Blue Gel Food Coloring
• Watermelon
• Airheads Taffy with Mystery Flavor and Blue Raspberry
• Variety of Crackers and Pretzels for Dipping
• Black Icing
• Blue Icing
• Round White Sprinkles
• Non-Stick Cooking Spray
• Kitchen Shears

Instructions

1. Combine softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and butter using a high-powered mixer. Slowly add in powdered sugar and graham crackers. Beat until blended. Add blue gel food coloring until the desired color is achieved. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. Placed mixture onto a serving board and shape it into an oval. Make it smooth using non-stick cooking spray on your fingers or knife so that it doesn’t stick to the dip.
3. Cut a few small triangles out of the watermelon for the horns and place them at the top of the head. Use kitchen shears to cut ovals out of the taffy candy mystery flavor for the eyes and teeth. Use the black icing to draw on the eyebrows, and mouth, and to finish the eyes. Next, use the blue icing to draw on his nose. Add white sprinkles for the freckles, and place them above the nose. Use the blue taffy candy to make the ears and press them into the side of the dip mix. Serve with a variety of your favorite cookies and pretzels.
