Who amongst us doesn’t enjoy licking the batter of raw cookie dough? We did it as kids before it became a fad and before they made safe raw versions of it. So not only will this Chickpea Cookie Dough recipe not make you potentially sick, it’s a raw dessert that’s entirely plant-based. It’s fast, decadent, and will have you coming back for more.
Let’s get one thing straight from the get-go: this is a decadent dessert. Yes, it’s made with pretty-much entirely whole food plant-based ingredients, but it’s crazy filling and delicious. You’re going to want to eat the entire thing all by yourself. And while it’s loaded with protein, iron, and healthy fats, I recommend enjoying it in smaller amounts as a little goes a long way! It is made with chickpeas after all. If you’re looking for a lighter dessert check out my Fruit Grunt or Chocolate Chia Pudding.
Because this is a raw dessert all your need is a food processor to bring it together. It’s a bit too thick for a high speed blender but if that's all you got then go for it. See what happens! Just be careful not to blow out your blade!
The other thing I’d recommend this for is as a post-workout treat or snack. Feel free to play around with this - add some nuts, dried fruit, change up the seasoning, etc… If you've got a nut-allergy then use tahini. Now that you’ve got a chickpea cookie dough recipe you can make it however you want and whenever you want. Try and leave some to share with the kid in your life. Even if that kid is an adult.
Make this chickpea cookie dough recipe and have the dessert that the child inside you has been begging for.
Place everything except for the chocolate chips into a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Transfer to a medium sized bowl and fold in the chocolate chips. Serve into individual bowls and sprinkle with some finishing salt, or sea salt, if you’ve got it. Smash into your face!
