Low Carb Cookie Dough Dip

April 18, 2013 By Gwen Brown 27 Comments

trim healthy mama S dipOHMYGOODNESS!  I just made this low carb cookie dough dip and I had to come here and post it for you.  RIGHT NOW.  It is SO delicious!

Back in my chubby, sugar savoring days, I was invited to a Pampered Chef party, and the lovely hostess made this AMAZING cookie dough dip.  chocolate-chip-cookie-dough

It looked like a cheese ball, and was covered in crushed nuts, and served with graham cracker sticks.  I begged for the recipe, which involved sticks (plural) of butter, whole blocks of cream cheese…you get the drill.  Heavy and suWEET!  I’ve often thought of it, and wondered if I could make something similar but not so…so…heavy and sweet.  But then I also couldn’t think of what I’d want to use as dippers.low carb cookie dough dip (3)

So, this morning, I got 4 pounds of strawberries in our co-op, and I promised the kids I would whip up a dip for them for an afternoon snack.  My boy asked me if I could make cookie dough dip.  PERFECT!  I mixed this up in my little counter-top food processor, and it was divine, I tell you.  I absolutely do not miss the heavy, thick version, nor the graham cracker sticks one bit.

This low carb cookie dough dip is still a rich and indulgent treat, but much lighter in texture, and is just insanely good.  We dipped, but you could totally stuff strawberries for a party tray, or tea party!

If it’s not strawberry season, fret not…these low carb cinnamon dippers are a super tasty way to transport fluffy cookie dough dip

This light fluffy dip will remind you of the flavors of chocolate chip cookie dough. It's insanely good with strawberries! We enjoyed it as an afternoon snack, but I'd totally pull this one out for a party, or stuff berries for a tea party.

    Just today, my children and I made several dozen cookies to give to the USO to send to soldiers this weekend. (I used the basic cheap recipe on the back of Nestle, since most soldiers will expect that when they bite into a cookie) I have to say that the cookie dough was the most tempting thing I have seen/smelled in 2 weeks! I only let my children have one cookie after dinner and the rest are packed up in the kitchen waiting to leave tomorrow morning. When I saw this I started grinning. I will make this tomorrow and tell the children to “dig in!” Thanks so much

    Oooooh, I was craving some cookie dough (my weakness), and thank goodness I found this recipe! Only problem was, I didn’t have any ricotta OR cottage cheese on hand, so I used Greek yogurt instead (with extra Stevia to compensate). My 6-year-old (who still refuses to try my THM smoothies and other desserts) is currently scarfing it down (with graham crackers– I’m eating mine with strawberries). Thanks so much!

    I know this is late, but I just made this and it didn’t taste like cookie dough to me. It tasted like COOKIES & CREAM…oh what a dream. I’m going to use this as a frosting. YUMMMMM!!!!!

    This sounds good! I’ve made a healthy cookie dough dip before, but it was totally different than this one. I made the one on chocolatecoveredkatie.com. She uses chickpeas as the base for hers, and it is vegan (if you use vegan choc chips anyway). 🙂

    Serves ONE, right? I could eat it all up. Just kidding–I did see that you said 1/6 is a serving.

    Just made it w/cottage cheese because I HAD to make it right away. Delish! Thanks for ALL of your great ideas.

    I just made this for my daughter and myself. I am following the THM plan and she is a 14 yr old type 1 diabetic. We dipped strawberries in it. It wasn’t until after we ate it, and i was looking over the recipe to pin it, that I noticed I forgot the butter. It was yummy, and less fat! Win, win! My daughter thought it tasted like Oreo cream filling. I told her she could have the leftover for breakfast. She thinks I’m the best mom ever!
