You can have cookie dough again!!!!

Stef made a potentially life changing discovery yesterday. While wasting time on the internet, I came across a blog called chocolate covered katie (www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com). Her blog is amazing and she has healthy desserts, most of which do not have any sugar other than dates.

There was one particular cookie dough recipe that caught my eye, and when we tried it tonight (a bit skeptical) we experienced a mix of deliciousness, astonishment, and pure excitement....Yea, it is really THAT good. This recipe has gone viral over the last few weeks as people are realizing just how amazing it is. This might even find a place in our post workout meals. Imagine that, eating cookie dough for protein post workout!?!

Moral of the story: you NEED to try this cookie dough dip recipe!




**this is a re-post from chocolatecoveredkatie.com with some of our own touches added to it.

-1 1/2 cups chickpeas (1 can, drained) (250g)
-heaping 1/8 tsp salt
-tiny bit over 1/8 tsp baking soda
-1 T plus 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
-1/4 cup nut butter (we made our own almond butter in the food processor first)
-1 and 1/4 cup pitted dates
-1/3 cup organic dark chocolate chips
-almond milk as needed (depending on the consistency you want. I used a few T.)

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 and blend until very smooth, adding the almond milk as necessary. After mixture is blended, fold in chocolate chips.

Voila! It tasted amazing like this, but I suspect a few hours in the fridge to set up will make it turn up even tastier!!!

We started eating this right with a spoon but we have some plans for rice cakes, apple slices...or maybe just with another spoon.
