When we think of hummus, we think of a savory and creamy dip for veggies or crackers. But we don’t think of something sweet and fit for kids to snack on like a dessert.

So, naturally, when I told my kids I was making cookie dough hummus, they were shocked. “Really? That sounds disgusting!” They said.

Given their response, I won’t be surprised if you feel surprised too when I tell you there’s a delicious and healthy cookie dough hummus that you and your kids will love.

When you’re in the mood for something sweet and filling, this is the dip to make for dessert, an afternoon treat, or a fun lunchbox surprise.

This Cookie Dough Hummus recipe is loaded with protein, fiber, and fabulous flavor! This recipe is appetizing and as I’ve seen countless times now – kids love it!

Serve it with your favorite fruit or veggie slices. Some of my favorites include apples, bananas, jicama, and celery.
