It is so crazy how much this healthy and sugar free cookie dough dip not only looks like cookie dough but actually tastes so much like real cookie dough!

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!

Hello Katie! I have been spying on your blog for a while and have tried a few things-like your deep dish cookie cake and chocolate pumpkin brownies. My mother and I have to be on a gluten free diet and we simply LOVE your recipes! Anyway, I made this cookie dip as a frosting for some gluten free brownies. I followed your recipe, using only 1 cup of dates, 2 tb almond meal for the oatmeal, 2tb oil and 2 tb pumpkin for the nut butter( I was out of all nut butters and didn’t feel like making any). I topped it on some fudge brownies and I used your chocolate chip recipe and the end result was AWESOME!!! I could not keep my fingers out of the food processor!! Nor could my little sisters! I thank you sooooo much for putting up all these recipes! I love your bean recipes and I look forward to making more of your recipes! Thanks so much!

I made this last week and it made lots but it didn’t last long!! So good. I omitted the oats because I didn’t have any. I’m also thinking… a whole bag of choc. chips was a bit much. I might try finding the smaller chips or only using a half a bag next time. Thanks!!!
I want to make this for my dad and father in law, both of them are diabetics. Does it have to be refrigerated?
It’s best to fridge. But one day out might be ok.
Couldn’t you use dark chocolate chips because it’s supposed to be good for you anyway? I try to stay away from anything that’s sugar free because it might contain aspartame in it, and that causes cancer.
Yes, definitely! I love using dark chocolate chips 🙂
Wow, THANK YOU KATIE! 🙂 I always thought it was just in my moms head that sugar makes you feel not as good, but I’ve just really been noticing it since my friend and I started eating clean. thanks for all of the recipes! 😉
Can you store leftovers in the fridge ? How long will last?
Yes, a few days.
Has anyone converted the recipe into WW points?
i know, i know! haha i’m way too late on this post but still i have to tell you:
THIS IS FREAKIN’ AMAZING!
i’ve been making this like every day for the past week 😀
thanks katie!
Can I substitute date sugar for regular dates? If so would the measurement be the same?
Use this recipe instead, and just use date sugar for your sugar: https://lett-trim.today/2011/05/31/deep-dish-cookie-pie/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Thanks! I can’t wait to give it a try 😀
Oh! Dear! Goodness!
I have all these ingredients
in my house.
Dates, chocolate chips, Chickpeas, but not enough tahini to make hummus– DESSERT TIME!
I love experimenting with low-sugar desserts (with you on the whole rich creamy goodness versus sugarbomb desserts) and this looks like just the thing. Dates are still high in sugar, but at least it’s lower on the glycemic index and has nutrients like B-6, Potassium, Fiber, and Magnesium.
Thanks so much for posting, Katie! I’ve loved following your blog.
Yes, I believe in chocolate every day.
