    No sugar added cookie dough dip made with chickpeas and dates, full of almond and coconut flavor

    Coconut Almond Cookie Dough Dip from Living Well Kitchen

    So remember the other week when I made {No Sugar Added} Sugar Cookie Dough Dip... well, I polished that off in less than 24 hours.

    I couldn't help myself; it was so good. I needed to make more.

    I was in luck though because I was going to a little girls-night-in at a friend's house, so I decided it would be perfect to bring for a little snack.

    Always making new things to post on the blog, I decided to make a new flavor of cookie dough dip. A quick look in my pantry revealed that I desperately needed to go to the grocery store I had just the right ingredients to make a coconut almond flavored version.

    Let's just say that this was completely polished off before the night was over (and the night was over quite early since it was just a Wednesday night with a few girls sitting around drinking water and chatting).

    Coconut Almond Cookie Dough Dip1

    It's not too coconut-y and it has the perfect amount of almond flavor.

    I really love almond extract because it gives this nice burst of sweet flavor without having to add tons of sugar.

    A little bottle of pure almond extract will last you a while because you only need a tiny amount in most recipes to give it flavor.

    Be careful though because it's not like vanilla extract - more is not better. You don't want to have an overwhelming almond flavor. Just stick to the measurement of almond extract a recipe calls for and you'll be good.

    Coconut Almond Cookie Dough Dip3

    This coconut almond cookie dough dip is delicious and tastes way more indulgent than it is.

    Dates and chickpeas are used to help keep this cookie dough dip from being out of control unhealthy like most recipes are {think lots of butter, sugar, and flour}.

    Yes, dates have sugar but it's naturally occurring and they also contain fiber and vitamins & minerals.

    Coconut Almond Cookie Dough Dip2

    This is delicious served with apple or pear slices. Or just eat it with a spoon.

    If you're not into coconut or almonds or both, you can always make this Sugar Cookie Version which will absolutely rock your socks off!

      I definitely need to make this for my kids (and myself too)! Love dips and doughs with garbanzo beans, and this sounds delicious with the coconut, and just a hint of almond extract. Pinning now!
