Have you seen all of those cookie dough dip recipes out there? Pinterest is full of chocolate chip cookie dough, peanut butter cookie dough, and brownie batter dips. Some of them are healthy, some of them are anything but! I am all for a swap to try to make something healthy. Especially when I can trick my family! (Insert evil laugh here)
The secret ingredient to make this healthy and creamy is tofu. After my success with Chocolate Mousse, I figured why not? I am not going to be eating tofu by itself anytime soon. But, if you want to mix it with sweet ingredients and disguise it, then I am over my fear. You should be too!! Try this!
I was drawn to the peanut butter cookie dough dip for obvious reasons. In case you are new here, I have a thing for peanut butter! I made it one afternoon while my son was at school. He came home hungry, and I offered him this for a snack. He loved it!! He ate it with graham crackers and thought it was amazing. A couple days later he even asked for it again (he often forgets about what food we had a few days ago, and has moved on to what is in front of him)! My husband (the non-chocolate lover), thought there were too many chocolate chips. He was also taken back by the peanut butter flavor, I guess I forgot to tell him that ahead of time 
- 5 oz. tofu, pressed and drained
- ¼ cup oats
- 2 Tbls peanut butter
- 1 Tbls sugar (or sugar substitute)
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 Tbls mini chocolate chips
- In a food processor combine everything, but the chocolate chips. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Pour into a separate bowl. Stir in chocolate chips. Serve with crackers or fruit. Store in an air tight container, in the fridge.

I have been reading a lot about creamy tofu. I may have to sneak it in some stuff too.
Mmm, looks good. I have never done much with tofu, but this might be the thing.
Hi, Sandra! This is terrific! I once made chocolate pudding and chocolate frosting using Silken soft tofu! And the result was surprisingly good! I bet you this is awesome!
I’m intrigued!! Sound like this would be a great dip to serve at a kids birthday!! It just so happens my little ones turning 2 soon!!
Tofu?? I never would have guessed that ingredient. Sounds delicious and healthy!
Great dip, Erin. I love tofu but I’ve never had it this way before. I’m also quite obsessed with peanut butter right now so this just might be a dip to try. Love that it’s healthy! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
I have to say I’ve never tried to sneak tofu into a sweet preparation – but what a great idea, especially for the kids. Love that you used peanut butter too!
Erin, this look great, and what an interesting idea using tofu..well done, very creative!
I love choc chip cookie dough dip and obviously I love anything peanut butter, has to be good!
Tofu = protein so it is almost a complete meal right? I love the chocolate and peanut butter addition.
i’ve seen lots of these recipes on pinterest + have been meaning to make one – i definitely have to soon! i’ve seen a bunch that use chickpeas instead of tofu too – intriguing!
These cookie dough dips are so fun. And I remember seeing this recently. I love that this one is semi healthy!
You are trying to drive me crazy aren’t you! You have no idea how tortured I feel right now sitting at my desk staring at this dip!!
I’m definitely not a tofu fan but since you’ve added chocolate and peanut butter, I may have to rethink…
I must have been too long absent from Pinterest as I seems to have missed the whole hype of cookie dips, but have to say they do sound interesting and such a great use of tofu.
This sounds like one very addictive cookie dough – watch out anyone tried to sneak a spoon from me
Cheers

Mmmm..mmmm good!! This dip sounds fabulous!
This is my favorite tofu recipe ever!!! Love this!
Fantastic idea Erin, I like tofu so I’m sure this would taste delicious to me! I will have to whip up a batch for my grandkids;-)
I love the cookie dips that have hidden healthy ingredients!
Yummy! I have to try tofu! I’l seeing so many recipes using it and it scares me, but making your PB dip looks worth it! I have to try this recipe!!
I LOVE this idea – delicious, simple and delicious!

Erin, this is brilliant! I love the addition of tofu!
I need to try this! I tried using tofu once for mousse and my daughter and I liked it. My husband and my son were not fooled though lol! I bet this one would fool them though. I like you get a double dose of protien both from the tofu and the peanutbutter. Great recipe!
My favorite part of this post was “insert evil laugh here” lol. You could trick me everyday with this dip!
I am NOT afraid to use tofu in my recipes! this peanut butter cookie dough dip looks incredible! ‘ve bene thinking of making cookie dough dip recently… but with Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter instead.
What a great idea Erin, I bet you can’t even tell. When I read it was healthy I was skeptical but you did it, super job.
Hehee I can hear your evil laugh and I can continue laughing in my household as well. My kids will be tricked!
Great idea!
I’ve been weary of making any of the other cookie dough dips because of all the sugar and butter! Thanks for a healthier option!

This looks delicious & seems to be a wonderful ‘healthy’ dip… I like that it uses only 1 tablespoon of sugar! Been away from the blog world for a little while now, and am glad to come to this! Catching up on what I’ve missed on your blog, Erin!
