Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Serving board
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups candy corn
  • 4 clementines, peeled and segmented
  • 20 vanilla wafers
  • 1/2 cup black licorice pieces

Instructions
 

  • Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat it until smooth.
  • Add the powdered sugar, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully combined and creamy.
  • Spoon the orange creamsicle dip into a small bowl and set it in the center of a large serving board.
  • Arrange the candy corn in small piles around the dip to create color blocks.
  • Place the clementine segments in clusters next to the candy corn.
  • Fan the vanilla wafers along the edges of the board for easy grabbing.
  • Tuck the black licorice pieces near the clementines to add contrast and a jack-o'-lantern accent.

Notes

Chill the dip for 15 minutes before serving so it firms up and holds its shape on the board. If you want a brighter orange color, add an extra teaspoon of zest right before mixing. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
