Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip


This dip is soo yummy and addicting - and you would never guess what it is made out of! I served this at a party and no one could believe it when I told them there was chickpeas in it! Don't be scared by the fact that it is a bean dip... just think of it as "dessert hummus." It is so easy to make and is great for dipping graham crackers, fresh fruit, pretzels, or even more cookies in.

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cup chickpeas (a little less than a full can), drained and rinsed
1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter
1/4 cup milk or almond milk
1/3-1/2 cup brown sugar (sweeten to your taste preference)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup chocolate chips or carob chips (to make this vegan)

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor (a blender might also work but I haven't tried it) and process on high for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is very smooth. Scrape down the sizes of the processor with a rubber spatula as needed.

Transfer into a serving bowl and stir in the chocolate chips. Serve with graham crackers, fresh fruit, or anything dippable! Store covered in the refrigerator.
