There are very few recipes I come across that I don't like. I might not love a recipe but I usually enjoy it enough to eat it, but not make again. I was super, super excited to try this healthy "cookie dough" dip when I found it. But YUCK! This tastes NOTHING, NOTHING like cookie dough. All you can taste is the beans. And I like beans...but not in this recipe. Shudder....yes it was that bad.
The best/worst part of this recipe is the almond butter. If you don't normally buy this stuff, it's about $5.50 a jar. It's wonderfully delicious though. It's so good I'm probably going to have to throw out the rest of the jar so I stop eating it by the spoonful.
1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans (1 can, drained) (250g after draining)
heaping 1/8 tsp salt
tiny bit over 1/8 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup nut butter of choice
1 and 1/4 cups pitted dates
1/3 cup chocolate chips
2 tbsp oats (You can omit if desired.)
milk of choice as needed (depending on the consistency you want. I used a few tbsp.)
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 blend until very smooth.
