Looking for a spooky snack for Halloween? With these Spooky Pumpkin Nachos, fun and flavor are guaranteed. A delicious cheddar sauce paired with Freshfy’s light and refreshing avocado salsa, served in a carved pumpkin that’s sure to scare… and satisfy your hunger!

Preparing the Cheddar Sauce

• Heat the oil: In a small saucepan, heat a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the flour: Stir in the tablespoon of whole wheat flour and let it brown for a few minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
• Incorporate the milk: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking, making sure to eliminate any lumps.
• Add the cheeses: Once the mixture is smooth, add 200 g of grated cheddar and a tablespoon of cream cheese. Stir until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.
• Season with paprika: Add a pinch of sweet paprika for extra flavor and color.

Preparing the Pumpkin

• Choose the pumpkin: Select a small pumpkin, perfect to use as an original bowl for the sauces.
• Cut the top: With a sharp knife, cut a circle at the top of the pumpkin to make a lid.
• Scoop out the pumpkin: Using a spoon, remove the seeds and inner strands.
• Carve the face: With a small knife, carve a spooky face into the pumpkin, ensuring that the mouth opening is large enough to serve the guacamole.

Assembling the Halloween Nachos

• Place the cheddar sauce bowl: Place a small bowl inside the pumpkin and pour the hot cheddar sauce into it.
• Add Freshfy guacamole: Use Freshfy’s Avocado Salsa as guacamole, placing it in the pumpkin’s mouth opening to give the appearance that the pumpkin is “vomiting” guacamole (perfect for Halloween!).
• Add the nachos: Arrange nachos around the pumpkin on a platter or plate so guests can dip into both the guacamole and the cheddar sauce.

Presentation Tips

• You can scatter some roasted pumpkin seeds around the dish for a more decorative and edible touch.
• For more spooky details, add olive “eyes” to the pumpkin or use sour cream to draw “ghostly” details on the nachos.
