Fruity Cookie Dips

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Sweet Caramel Apple Pecan Cookie Dough Dip is Flourless

— October 13, 2015 — Lifestyle
For those that are more inclined to sweet foods, this delicious cookie dip featuring the taste of caramel apple, pecan and cookie dough is an ideal appetizer. Despite the dip being modelled after raw cookie dough, the dip does not contain any raw egg or flour making it a healthy alternative for sweet cravings.

Despite the dip's sweet taste, it is actually made with chickpeas giving this dish tons of added protein. The chickpeas are processed in a food processor along with caramel sauce, vanilla, salt and coconut oil to replicate the taste of cookie dough. The dough is then topped with chopped apples, white chocolate chips and added caramel sauce. The dip pairs well with sliced fruit, pretzels and sweet crackers.
Trend Themes
1. Healthy Dessert Alternatives - The popularity of flourless and protein-packed dessert dips presents an opportunity for creating innovative and healthy alternatives to classic sweet treats.
2. Plant-based Protein Foods - The use of chickpeas as a base for this cookie dip highlights the increasing demand for plant-based protein sources, creating opportunities for plant-based dessert options.
3. Creative Flavor Combinations - The combination of caramel apple, pecan, and cookie dough in this dip showcases the trend of unique and unexpected flavor pairings, inspiring the development of innovative dessert creations.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can capitalize on the trend of healthy dessert alternatives by creating and marketing more flourless and protein-packed options.
2. Plant-based Foods - The plant-based food industry can take advantage of the growing demand for plant-based protein foods by expanding their dessert offerings using ingredients like chickpeas.
3. Bakery and Confectionery - Bakeries and confectioneries can tap into the trend of creative flavor combinations by experimenting with unique flavor profiles in their dessert products.
