This dip is so easy and looks great on your game day spread! It can be prepared ahead of time, too! This Football Cheesecake dip is made with cream creese and coated in mini chocolate chips.
You can get as creative as you want with the white chocolate chip laces on top. I serve with graham crackers on the side. It’s a huge hit and I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the most popular spot on the table.
It reminds me of a cannoli dip. Yum!

How to make it
Blend together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, both the brown and powdered sugars, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
Lay out Saran Wrap and scoop the cheesecake dip onto the plastic wrap. Cover the dip with the plastic wrap completely and shape into a football. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm.
Remove from the fridge, remove the plastic wrap and place the football dip on a large serving platter (reshape as necessary).
Press the remaining mini chocolate chips all over the football and sides to cover it. Add the white chocolate chips for laces.
At this point you can return the football cheesecake dip to the refrigerator if you are making it the day before. Let come to room temperature before digging in.
Serve with graham crackers or accompaniments of your choice.
Refrigerate any leftovers.
