Expert Tips for Best Results

For the smoothest dip, be sure to rinse and drain your chickpeas thoroughly, removing as many of the skins as possible. This helps eliminate any grainy texture. Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your liking – if you prefer a sweeter dip, add a bit more. Want a thicker dip? Add a tablespoon of oat flour for added thickness, one teaspoon at a time. Remember to heat treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. This ensures it’s safe to consume. Don’t skip the chilling time! Allowing the Cookie Dough Dip to chill for at least 30 minutes really enhances the flavors and gives it a more satisfying texture. It also makes it easier to scoop and serve.

Serving Suggestions

This Cookie Dough Dip is incredibly versatile! Serve it with apple slices, banana slices, strawberries, or raspberries for a healthy and delicious treat. Pretzel sticks are a fantastic salty-sweet combination. Graham crackers or vanilla wafers offer a classic cookie-on-cookie experience. For a more indulgent treat, try dipping biscotti. Get creative and set out a variety of dippers for your guests to choose from! You can also spread it on toast, or use it as a frosting for cupcakes and cakes, or simply enjoy it by the spoonful. Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This dip is perfect for game days, kids’ parties, school lunches, or a late-night indulgence.
