No Sugar Cookie Dough Dip
On Friday night, my original Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip went viral, with over 2 millions views!
It’s been such a wild past few days.
Thank you to everyone who’s been sharing it!
With so many more people finding that post, I spent yesterday afternoon doing something I’d meant to do for a long time: creating a sugar-free version of the cookie dough dip.

Since posting the original recipe, I’ve received many, many requests for a sugar free option.
But until now, the only suggestion I had was to replace the sugar with stevia.
I do not recommend using only stevia in this recipe; very few people will think the result tastes good.
Instead, here is a brand new sugar free version that does taste good and is sweetened only with fruit!

Do you ever watch the amount of sugar you eat?
A lot of people will probably disagree with me on this, but I do not believe sugar is evil. I think it is fine in moderation for the general population.
However, it seems like the more sugar you eat, the more you crave.
Then it becomes a problem, because – if you are anything like me – too much sugar makes you feel sick and lethargic.
When I was in high school and hated being skinny, I put myself on an incredibly high sugar diet that included multiple slices of layer cake and pints of ice cream every day.
It was super fun for a while… until I went off to college and started eating even more sugar, with very few vegetables finding their way into my daily diet.
I was tired all the time. Once I realized the source of my lethargy was all the sugar, I drastically changed my eating habits.
Now, since I eat much less sugar, I find that I do not crave desserts that are anywhere near as sweet.
People always ask why I have a dessert blog if I do not like sweets. The answer is that I still do love desserts; I just like them creamy and rich, not sweet and saccharine.
I might not like sugar, but I sure do love dessert!
*Chocolate version here: Chocolate Hummus
Sugar Free Cookie Dough Dip
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas or white beans (For low-carb, try this Keto Cookie Dough Dip)
- heaping 1/8 tsp salt
- heaping 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup nut butter of choice
- 1 and 1/4 cups pitted dates (I used SunMaid, from a regular grocery store)
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips OR Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
- 2 tbsp oats or almond flour, optional
- milk of choice as needed (I used a few tbsp)
Instructions
- *Using peanut butter will give a peanut butter cookie dough flavor. If you prefer a more neutral taste, you can use almond butter, cashew butter, regular butter spread, coconut butter, or oil.In a bowl, cover the dates with 1/2 cup water. Let this sit for at least 8 hours. Then add all ingredients (including the dates' soaking liquid), except chocolate chips, to a food processor (for best results, not a blender) and process until very smooth. This can be served as a dessert dip, as a spread (maybe in between apple slices or crackers?), eaten with a spoon, mixed into oatmeal, stuffed into cupcakes, or even used to top pancakes!

No sugar cookie dough. I think i’m in heaven!
I find it interesting reading so many comments about people feeling “lethargic” when they eat sugar, and then craving sugar afterwards because those were 2 major factors for me before
I found out that i have insulin resistance. It causes many things but can lead to type 2 diabetes and many other autoimmune diseases because it is an autoimmune response. I will have to look into this awesome recipe for a yummy goody that doesn’t look like it has too much sugar!
You have to watch your carbs not just sugar, as sugar is a carb but only one of MANY!
I LOVE THIS RECIPE. But i just wanted to know if i can put this dip in a oatmeal with water for my breakfast?… I’m afraid to ruin everything if i bake it a little…
Baking it isn’t a problem :).
Love the flavor, but I can’t get the texture right… I have an old hand mixer, therefore I still have some “chickpea balls and oats pieces” that are not mixed throughly yet 🙁 I probable could have used my vitamix to pulverize the chickpea & oats – but that’s dirtying more dishes… Time to bite the bullet and buy a food processor – what kind do use/recommend? Thanks!!
I know I just commented on the other cookie dough, but this may work well, too! We stay at my grandparent’s house and my Poppi (grandfather) is a diabetic 🙂 Your recipes get better and better <3 Thanks!
About How many calories are in this awesome recipe?! I need it!
Holy moly! This DOES taste like cookie dough, I thought I’d try it for fun but this is a much healthier and tasty treat! Thanks!
Cool!!!
This looks TOO much like cookie dough so I gotta try it :).
I am so excited about this recipe. I have always been one to eat the dough instead of the cookies. I was sad to recently find out that I am pre-diabetic. Sugar has had to leave my house. I crave sweetness all the time, so really excited to find something that I can eat that won’t affect me in a major way.
Hi, Katie! Would you consider creating a paleo version of the sugar-free cookie dough dip? It would just need to be bean-free… maybe almond flour?
