I’ve finally made a new “about me” page!
Click here: About Chocolate-Covered Katie
Did you know..
Did you know that healthy food can be naughty? Try this dip and you will never believe it isn’t full of heavy cream and sugar!
It’s all thanks to a comment from a reader. She asked if I could healthify: this non-vegan recipe.
I’d never even thought of the idea of cheesecake dip before. How decadent does that sound? As soon as I saw her comment, I had to try it out. Admittedly, I haven’t tasted the real version; but my “healthy” version tastes pretty darn incredible!
Chocolate-Chip Cheesecake Dip
(can be gluten and sugar-free!)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup cream cheese spread, such as Tofutti (180 grams)
- 4 NuNaturals stevia packets or 1/4 cup sugar (or more, if desired)
- 1 cup silken tofu (or 1 cup more cream cheese spread) (If you use Morinu silken-firm, even tofu haters say they can’t taste it in this recipe!) (200 grams)
- chocolate chips
- tiny dash salt
Blend all of the ingredients, except the chocolate chips, together. Then add in your chocolate! Use this as a dip, or eat it as pudding or mousse. Makes about 2 cups.
Or, you could make the more-decadent version: Naughty Chocolate Chip Dip. (The “not-as-healthy” version would probably make for a killer vegan party dessert!

Susan says
Holy cookie dough! This may be the most delicious thing I’ve ever seen! And the photographs are SO gorgeous :). I especially like the first one :).
I want to dive right in!
Carrie (Moves 'N Munchies) says
MAKING THIS TODAY
Erica says
Oh my word, ME TOO!
Disturbed says
My whole body! I wouldn’t even need anything to dip into that-just eat it straight out of the bowl. Though it might be good to eat on my morning oats.
Erica says
Oh wow, I’m doing that. Chocolate chip cookie dough pudding oatmeal? Heck yes!
Ashley (The Vegetable Life) says
Food Porn is right! That dip makes my mouth water just looking at it. I would probaby use a plain cookie such as a Nilla Wafer or something to really be able to taste the chocolate chips taste from the dip!!! I NEED TO TRY THIS ASAP!
Jennifer JCD says
Huh, I’ve never heard of chocolate chip dip before. It looks yummy.
Albizia says
Do I have to dip anything in it? Can’t I just eat it with a spoon? 😛
Yesterday I found another recipe for raw cookie dough dessert but it was much different – the main ingredient was chocolate. You might like it 😉 .
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
If it’s vegan and the main ingredient (or ANY ingredient) is chocolate, I’m pretty much guaranteed to like it! What could be bad? 😉
Albizia says
Actually, it really is vegan 🙂 . I think I will try it very soon and will share it if tastes as good as it looks.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Definitely do! 🙂
Amanda says
Oh wow… I love dips and I love cookie dough. What a great recipe! I think i might have it with bananas or use ginger snaps for dipping. Or maybe just eat it by the spoonful…
Leslie says
Woah, food porn extreme! I must make this. Somehow, though, I have no chocolate chips in the house! (Yes, I already went to my kitchen to start making it, that’s how good it looks!) So now you’re forcing me to go grocery shopping. I need cookie dough dip in my life!
abby says
gahh get in my belly now!
and katie, the photos are fantastic :). very professional looking.
🙂
Brandie says
It’s like your whipped cream receipe with cocolate chips in it! Ack! Totally Yummers Katie!
Though I must admit to wanting to try that Naughty version… I’ll stick wth the stevia and not the sugar *giggle*
hippierunner says
Such good photos! I want this so bad!!
Angie says
Katie! I never comment, but I have to today because you have just SAVED me!
I have a party to attend on Friday, and I needed a GREAT vegan dessert to bring that would wow everyone. I wanted to do something more fancy than plain cookies, but I am not a cook. Now I know exactly what to bring! Thank you SO MUCH!!!
Oh, and I’m bringing the naughty version :).
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Um, hello, yumminess!!! I’d love to dip in some apple slices!!! Or maybe some sality, crunchy pretzels… wonder if that’d make a good combo?!
abby says
i’ll have to try that combo! i love pretzels :).
Ellen @ Undercover Runner Eats says
I would totally just eat that plain.
Fi says
hey katie, im making this tonight for dessert, being the culinary vegan amateur i am, ive a question, dya reckon if i could turn this recipe into cheesecake if i made a biscuit base and let it set in the fridge? if so, what base do u recommend? xx
abby says
oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh i’m going to steal this idea if it works! katie, i wanna know too. chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake? that sounds even better than dip! will either of you (katie or fi) let me know if it works? my belly needs to know! fi, that is a genius idea!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh wow, Fi, that DOES sound amazing. And I REALLY want to know if it would work! I guess you can always try it, and if it doesn’t firm up, you can call it “Cookie Dough Cream Pie.” I soooo hope you try it, because I want to know how it works!!!
(P.S. I agree with Abby: You are a genius!)
Carrie (Moves 'N Munchies) says
oh and i would BATHE in this dip
Fi says
ha, I lol’d at this, and im in a library! xx
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hahahaha I have some Mexican Chocolate soap. Maybe you should use that in your cookie dough bath ;).
Sarah C. says
Wow, I’m with everyone else. I need to make this ASAP! It looks so easy :).
Molly @ MollyRunsFresh says
I definitely would not mind taking a swim in that dessert! I can’t find vegan cream cheese near me, have any ideas for a good substitute? Thanks girl 🙂
VeggieGirl says
I’d dip some of your Fudge Babies into that dough 🙂
Amy says
Making this today! If only I had the cream cheese on hand, I would’ve made it for breakfast!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I wouldn’t even bother dipping… a spoon would suffice 🙂
Julia (The Veggie Side) says
That stuff looks way to good to use as a dip! I think I would have to pour it on stuff…bananas, strawberries oatmeal, my face! (kidding). Seriously, how about using it in a fruit salad? ummmm….now I’m hungry!
abby says
me too. so dangerous to read food blogs with recipes like these!
Brandi says
Oh wow. I would have never ever thought of making a chocolate chip cookie dip. Very interesting, but in a good way. I’d most likely dip bananas in it…or maybe mix it in with some granola, or in my oatmeal.
Heidi says
I think strawberries seems like an awesome choice – or maybe apple slices until berries are back in season!
Could be awesome on top of a vegan vanilla or angel food cake
Maria, a lurker says
Oh that does sound good! Do you have a vegan angel food cake recipe, by any chance?
Alisa Fleming says
You are brilliant! I was drooling over that recipe a couple of weeks ago on the original blog.
ruby red says
I am so glad Hungry Hippie Girl brought that recipe to you! Your version looks and sounds absolutely delish! It is so pretty the way you swirled it in the bowl. I’ve never heard of cookie dough dip either! Reminds me of your cookie dough oats I made every day straight for months…
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I remember your carob bowl! Yours looked better than mine! 🙂
Brian says
I notice in your posts you seem to use the microwave a lot. I’ve read that microwaving depletes food of its nutrients and may even cause harm because of electromagnetic radiation. Just wondering if you have any health concerns about using it or where you stand on the topic.
You rock.
B.Woz
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey Brian!
Here’s a post I wrote about it, awhile back: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2009/12/16/microwave-friend-or-foe/
Thanks for the question :).
Jessica Lee says
awesome recipe!! i would probably just eat that with a spoon, wouldn’t want to mask any flavors with it 🙂 have a fabulous day gorgeous!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Right back to you, pretty girl!
Kelsey @ Clean Teen Kelsey says
Eek, that picture made me drool, Katie! This sounds soo good. It’s pretty much your cheesecake mousse recipe with chocolate chips, correct? Thankfully I have a tub of Tofutti that I haven’t completely annihilated yet. I know how I will use it now. 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yup! It’s very very similar. 😉
I think it makes a bigger serving, though. But the basic recipe is the same.
lindsay says
oh I bet this dip with would be great on top of your single girl cupcakes. I’d definitely do that!
🙂
Christin@purplebirdblog says
Yeah, I’m thinking a bath in this stuff is definitely in order!! 🙂
Nicole says
Mm, probably a banana. Or my finger. Or, if we want to be hygienic, a SPOON. 😉
Also, I tagged you! 😉
http://nicolecooks.wordpress.com/2011/01/11/tagged/
Picky Nicky says
Omg, that looks freaking amazing! I love blending tofu, it has the best texture 🙂
Maryann says
This looks amazing! I think I would eat it plain! haha
Brandie says
Ya know, I just noticed you put 1TSP of stevia, but not whether powder or liquid? That would probably make a difference.. wow a whole TSP? For you that seems VERY sweet… ? What kind of stevia were you using, our of curiousity? 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
1 tsp nunaturals (2 packets). LOL yeah it’s a bit sweet for me, but it’s supposed to be really sweet because it’s a dip, not a pudding.
Honestly, I like my agar puddings better, but this is great to serve to friends :).
VEGirl says
I have seen cookie dough dip around blogs a lot, and I wanted to drool… while gagging simultaneously. The ingredients looked gross but the idea was brilliant! Thanks a bunch for this recipe! We never really have vegan cream cheese around but the use of it makes me think of a couple possible substitutes. It’s weird, we have a little bit of it right now (the cream cheese) in the fridge because my sister needed it for something special– and that’s when I read this post. Just interesting 🙂 As an interesting side note, I ate the cream cheese on a tortilla (our “bread”) with peanut butter and banana this morning. So yummy!
VEGirl
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
If anyone can think up a good substitute, I have confidence that it’s you! If you do find one, please let me know!! 🙂 I’d love to hear your version.
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes says
This looks fab. I think I would have to dip a huge chocolate chip cookie in your dip…yum!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Cookie on top of cookie. I like your thinking :).
Ellen @ Cinnamonalicious says
Ooooh lord! Katie, you’ve done it again! 😉
thefruitpursuit (sabine) says
Ohhhhh scrumptious! I’d maye serve it along ice-cream!
x sabine
Caroline says
Thanks for this recipe, Katie.
I think I’ll make the “naughty” version for my boyfriend for Valentines Day 😉 ;).
thefruitpursuit (sabine) says
By the by I gave your pizzert a very cool make-over today! I’ll post it tomorrow and how you! Good afternoon girl! x
Sarahishealthy says
Guess what, Katie? I made this for an afternoon snack! I added lots of chocolate chips, and I dipped in apple slices. DIVINE! I love you! In a non creepy way, of course ;).
Oh, and I added a little extra sugar, since I wanted it to be extra strong, because I was just using a little bit so I wanted it extra concentrated. Loved it!
Felicia ( a taste of health with balance) says
I have extra firm tofu needing to be used- wondering if that would work just as well? This looks delish!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Ooh if you try it, please let me know how it works! 🙂
Little Bookworm says
That dip looks absolutely amazing! I think I’d put banana (like your idea!) or maybe fudge babies in it? Have you changed the background colour of your layout? It looks great (if you have)!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yes lol. And I was planning to mention it, but I forgot. Too much cookie-dough eating, ya know ;). Oh well, there’s always tomorrow!
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) says
Oh man that looks SO good! Can’t believe you managed to make cookie dough dip vegan AND healthy! You are a GENIUS Katie! 😀
Kianni says
I’m thinking on crackers- sweet crackers, like graham crackers or something. Maybe over frozen fruit..hmm, maybe over frozen banana. *still thinking*
abby says
or maybe even blend frozen banana into the dip? ay yay yay!
Veggie Lover says
Hi Katie,
You always have such a lovely array of veggies! Do you buy fresh produce every day? Or freeze some? Or buy the bagged kind? My veggies go bad too fast- I’m not doing it right!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey Veggie Lover,
I probably go to the grocery store, on average, 2 or 3 times a week. So I’ll buy a few things each time, but I’ll have a plan for everything I buy. (In other words, I won’t buy something just because it looks good. I’ll only buy it if I know EXACTLY what I’m going to do with it. Otherwise, more often than not, it ends up going to waste before I figure out what to do with it!)
I also usually chop up the veggies as soon as I get home, so they’re ready to go. That way I don’t get lazy and never get around to cooking them.
Some veggies, I do freeze: roasted brussels sprouts freeze nicely. Cauliflower and spaghetti squash… not so much!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Cookies!!! I’d dip cookies into it. 🙂 Peanut butter cookies..wait..Nutter Butters! Or I’d use it as frosting over a breakfast pizza. It’d make for some pretty rocking sauce. 😉
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Chocolate chip cookie dough Pizzert… I like your thinking, genius Mary!
Leslie says
Ok, I’m back to let you know that I made this :). Was it worth the trip to the grocery store? You bet your socks it was! I felt so naughty dipping strawberries in the incredibly decadent concoction. Had to keep pinching myself to remember it wasn’t nearly as bad for me as it tasted!
Camille says
I would start by dipping my head in and then eating my way out. I figured that’s what you meant 🙂
bitt says
Dip? What? I think it should be pudding! Eat as is.
Heather says
Ya-ummmmm!! I could totally go for a bowl o this right now with some honeycrisp apple slices…and maybe some grahams!
abby says
honeycrisps = love.
honeycrisps with cookie dough dip = foodie coma!
Inspired says
This looks almost as easy to make as it does delicious! I love how all your recipes are so easy to make, because I hate to cook! I’ll try this for sure!
Alexandra (Veggin' Out in the Kitchen) says
Mmmm…… can you send me a bowl? 😉 I would dip everything in my kitchen into that dip! I would also probably spread it on toast and plop it on oatmeal – I can think of so many uses for it!
Gill (snaxandthecity) says
i think i just had a heart palpitation. and it was goooooood 😉
Devan says
oh my gosh..this sounds sooo goood!
Anonymous says
Will be making this today!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
Is it just my eyes or did you change the color/banners on your blog just slightly? They seem so periwinkle and pretty today! 🙂
The cookie dough dip. NICE.
I make Oreo Balls…which I take cream cheese and break up oreos into and then dip that all into chocolate in ball form. Anyway, I need to take vegan cream cheeze and make your dip recipe…yum!
Valerie says
We’re already big fans of the regular cheesecake mousse, so I can only imagine how much better it’ll be with chocolate chips. I’m just wondering why I never thought to add them before! 😕
melissa @ the delicate place says
could you use cashew creme + avocado to make this too? i think that would work! it looks so delish!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I don’t see why not. If you try it, definitely let me know how it is! 🙂
Emily K. says
Oh I think I need some of this in my life right now. And I like the idea some others mentioned about taking a cookie dough bath. What could be yummier?
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
Nom nom nom I want to try this NOW! Slash I’m getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow, so pureed foods will be my slurp of choice;)
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oooh yucky :(.
I’m sending you (blended) chocolate hugs hehe.
Faith @ lovelyascharged says
My whole self, definitely 😉 Although strawberries seems like a more edible and less sticky option!
Lindsey says
That looks amazing! I would dip strawberries…graham crackers…and COOKIES! 🙂
Namaste Gurl says
Mmmm, looks decadent and indeed yummy. I’d probably dip some whole- grain waffles, whole-made pancakes, bananas, apples, or even carrot sticks into this scrumptious dip! Or, maybe I’ll skip those, and just bathe myself into it 🙂 Just kidding!
Hehe, you forget to include chocolate chips into the recipe! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
LOL oh wow, you were the 77th comment and no one before you picked up on that?! And what a sorry excuse for a chocoholic am I that I didn’t notice??? Thanks girl!
kate says
Oh my gosh, such a genius idea!
Erin says
I wanna dip EVERYTHING in it! 🙂
jaclyn@todayslady says
Oh wow! I would dip anything I could think of in that dip….. brownie, banana…… definitely a fudge baby!
Alyssa says
Katie I love your recipes!! You make it look like being vegan is fun and yummy 🙂 I made the regular cookie dough dip for christmas and it was good but this looks great too. I’ll try it!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thanks, Alyssa! I definitely wouldn’t be happy eating boring salads all the time (not that salads are always boring, but ya know what I mean hehe).
Claire says
I love this recipe already! Shall buy me some tofu in the next supermarket shop, yummy! How about using on top of a cake/cupcakes? If not a spoon/finger would be a weapon of choice!
Ashley@Quasichick says
I have to try this soon! If anyone thinks they won’t eat tofu this would be a great way to introduce it to them!
Katherine: Unemployed says
ah carbs and chocolate. I need you to make me happy right now
Pure2raw twins says
YUM!. I have nothing for dessert tonight and I wish I could eat some of this!!
juliakatz1996 says
I wonder how it would tast if you made it peanut/ almond/cashew/cocoa butter whipped cream! That’s a request. Now I’m off to make this recipe to top my rapberry chocolate cookies!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Ooh just checked out your cookie recipe. They sound divine!
Peanut butter whipped cream?! Oh my. Yummy!
Melomeals: Vegan for $3.33 a Day says
I think that would be a great frosting
Sarahishealthy says
I agree. How can it get better than cookie dough frosting?
Heidi P. says
Katie,
I found your website last week and I am AMAZED! Not only are you as adorable as can be, and clever and witty, but I have been devouring your ideas and resulting delicious cuisine…and I can’t get enough! Thank you for the time and effort you spend on this fabulous, resourceful blog. I’m here to stay!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh wow, Heidi, thank you SO much for such kind words :). I’m so glad you found me!
BroccoliHut says
Wow, I could really take a bath in this dip…but instead, I think I would dunk some strawberries or maybe a cinnamon graham cracker.
Kristie says
I’ve been seeing this cookie dough dip cropping up a lot lately and have been dying to try it. I’m SO excited that you Katiefied it, i’m trying your version first and SOON. I just need to get my hands on some cream cheese and it’s happening!
Candice @ ChiaSeedMe says
“your whole self” – hahahaha.
This looks delicious!! I would dip a chocolate chip cookie it in! Why not?!
Rachel (tea and chocolate) says
Wow I’m going to make this as soon as I find some tofutti cream cheese!
Kayla (Little Miss Healthify) says
Oh man, this looks heavenly! The first time I heard of cookie dough dip was actually on Jessica’s (How Sweet Eats) blog!
Matthew says
Or dip Oreo’s in this!
Matthew says
Oh. My. God. This looks amazing! I have to try this!

Catherine says
Just wanted to let you know, I made this last night, but I put a PEANUT BUTTER spin on it: take your recipe, but add 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to it before blending. It takes the dip OVER the top. You must try it! You’ll love it! And now I need to go make some more :).
Veronica says
That is off the hook! YUMMO! FYI, the link to the chocolate chip cookie dough dip strangely brought me to the comments on raw banana split cheesecake??
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thanks for letting me know! Which link is broken? I’ll fix it straight away! 🙂
Veronica says
Sorry, it’s the Naughty Cookie Dough Dip link. Thanks! I want to check it out!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
That link actually does go to the right place. Read the top comment after you click on the link; it’s where the reader left the recipe for the “naughty” dip ;).
Veronica says
Thanks, Katie! I don’t know what was wrong, maybe because I’m using Firefox, but I clicked that link like three times trying to find the recipe and couldn’t find it in the comments. I came back hours later and now it’s working for me. Sorry to bother you!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh no, no worries AT ALL! I get confused by peoples’ posts all the time! Please always ask if you’re confused by something… because it often means others are confused by it too! 🙂
Liz says
Hi Katie!
I’ve recently discovered that Tofutti cream cheese has trans fat in it! :-O
I just wanted to let you know, since it’s in some of your recipes.
Anyways, this cookie dough looks amazing! How do you come up with such great recipes?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey Liz!
There are actually two different tofutti cream cheeses. Weird, right? I have no idea why this is, but if you can find the YELLOW container, it’s trans-fat-free! 🙂
And lol I usually just think of a flavor (like “snickerdoodle”) and then try to brainstorm all the different types of food I could make with that flavor! (Hopefully Thursday’s post wil be about Snickerdoodle Pancakes!)
Stephanie says
Hi. I just found your blog via a search on http://www.bloglovin.com. I’m just beginning to switch over to a vegan diet and was looking for online blogs that would be fun and interesting to read, and this is one of them. Glad I found it. You had me at snickerdoodle pancakes!
Look forward to reading some more!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey Stephanie!! I’m so glad you found me! 🙂 🙂
Katy sparrow says
I just made this, mmm delish! I subbed kefir (yogurt beverage) for the cream cheese and it worked fabulously. And I added oatmeal and that rocked.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh my gosh, adding oatmeal? Genius! 🙂
Katy sparrow says
Haha and 1/4 tsp baking soda..just learning from the best!!
Lisa says
When I got out all of the ingredients for this last night, all I could think of was THIS IS CHEESECAKE! And so I added some almond extract and pink food colouring, whipped up a little graham cracker crust, put it all in a 4″ springform, topped it with homemade raspberry jam and put it in the fridge! And it tastes great. 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Wow, this is such an incredible idea, Lisa! I am definitely going to try it! You are brilliant!
Caren says
This is an unbelievable idea – I want this as an IV drip! I wonder if I can liquify my vegan cookie dough bites to do the same thing… http://www.carenbaginski.com/blog/vegan/chocolate-chip-vegan-cookie-dough-bites/ Thanks for posting, Katie!
Jen @ The RA Vegan says
YUM. I just made this for lunch tomorrow! (I’m doing a Vegan Lunchboxes for Adults Challenge until Sept. 20th if anyone is interested in joining us.) After today I realize I’m going to need to pack more food so don’t mind me if I eat the entire thing in one sitting! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh wow, cookie dough for lunch? That pretty much sounds like the perfect meal!
Meg says
I think I’d dip some Animal Crackers or Nilla Wafers in that pile of deliciousness! YUM!
judice says
This was AWESOME! No one guessed tofu.
Karen says
To no fault of the recipe, this was our least successful so far. It is edible, but it just tastes a little off. I am very ignorant when it comes to tofu. I used firm, and the brand was Azumaya. Is that bad? It has a very odd flavor and off-putting stench that I didn’t get with the chocolate pie, but I used a different brand and it was silken. Is the brand the problem, or it being firm? I added more sugar, then more cream cheese, then half of the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls we had just made. (I am a little annoyed because I feel like I just wasted them, and that was the last of my dates! They were probably going to get me in trouble anyway.) Any suggestions?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hmmm… I don’t know :-?. I used Mori Nu silken-firm, which is aseptic. Honestly, this is one of my much older recipes, and so I haven’t made it in about a year! 😕

The brand shouldn’t be a problem, but definitely use silken tofu if you can get your hands on it again! The only other reason I can think of for the Azumaya pudding tasting off is that it may have been lower in sodium that Mori-nu tofu, and didn’t have enough salt to help “carry” the sweetness from the sugar. (Salt “boosts” flavour, after all! Too little and the sweetness won’t shine through as well.) Silken tofu is fantastic for dessert-y, sweet recipes. 🙂

hey, does anyone know if this recipe would work with frozen extra firm tofu? it looks awesome but would i have to thaw the tofu first?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hmmm… sorry, I don’t know! 😕
Jenny says
Mori-nu silken tofu is really the best for this sort of recipe, because it gets a pudding-like texture. Extra-firm will turn kind of crumbly and scrambled-egg-like! Obviously if you whip it enough it will get sort of creamy, but honestly – silken tofu yields the best texture! 🙂 If you wanted to try anyway, I would indeed suggest that you thaw out the tofu first! IMO, extra-firm tofu works best for being chopped into cubes to use in stir-fries or to be baked or grilled, since it holds its shape so well.
Hope that helped a bit!
Candace says
I think you’re right. thanks for the advice:)

I did not have cream cheese so i made it with 2T sugar, non fat greek yogurt instead of cream cheese, added a pinch of xanthane and a T of peanut butter and it tasted incredibly good. I really fought hard not to eat the whole thing straight out of the batter. It is now safe in my fridge… for the moment.

Ok so I know this question is against the principles if veganism l, but for those of us who aren’t tofu gave, is there something we can replace the tofu with and still get the sane consistency? Lol
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
LOL there are even vegans who don’t eat tofu! Off the top of my head, I have two different ideas: vegan Greek yogurt or chickpeas like in this dip: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/05/23/want-to-eat-an-entire-bowl-of-cookie-dough/

I plan on making this tonight BUT! I couldn’t find “Cream Cheese Tofu” at the store. They had “Dessert Tofu” so I bought that….do you know if that is an ok replacement?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I’ve never heard of dessert tofu so I don’t know.
Aleix says
I was wondering if there is anything you can sub for the tofu? In this recipe and the regular cheesecake sauce recipe.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I haven’t tried anything else so I can’t say.
Aline says
Sometimes it makes me sad that I don’t have the ingredients to make your recipes! I’m from Brazil and we yet don’t have a lot of the vegan options that you got! Like tofutti, marshmallow, and stuff that are typical from the US! 🙁
Well… Happily there are many recipes that I can make!

could i sub the tofu with banana?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I haven’t tried it so I really don’t know!

I love finding new milk free dips and treats I can make for my milk allergic 4 year old! Not sure which to make first- this or the chocolate chip cookie dough dip!
Vanillka says
Trying not to get lost in all the chocoholic wonders here, I stop on this one and ask my question:
we don’t have silken tofu….
Can I blend some hard tofu (unsalted) with water or coconut cream?! Will I have the same texture?
The worst is that I’ve never seen silken tofu, so I don’t know what to aim to 🙁
Bad…Cause I love all your silken tofu based cream!
PS: I like the new header better 😉
Nikki says
Hey Vanillka,
I have used regular (non-silken) SOFT tofu for very similar purposes and it works just fine! Which is a bonus since the silken tofu I see is almost twice as expensive as the regular stuff!!
Nikki says
Oh cheese wizz – this is brilliant! I am going to try this using homemade yogurt cheese/labneh (basically strained yogurt which comes out tasting pretty darn close to cream cheese!). Really quite excited about this!!
Christine says
Very tasty!!! Thanks for sharing!!
holly says
i’m not sure what i did but after making this dip following the exact recipe i did not like how it tasted. i did use trader joes non diary cream creese and not tofutti. because i was serving it at my wine club meeting i decided to doctor it up and added 4 oz real light cream cheese, 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 3 heaping spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter. turned out great with the added ingredients and no one knew it had tofu in it (until i told them – the surprised look on their faces was priceless)
vegan&vain says
Hi Katie, I’m a vegan blogger from Poland and I love this receipe *_* but in my country there’s no tofutti brand products, is there any way to replace it?
Kim Bayne says
Hi Katie, I have a question about Tofutti…I assume its the same where you are as here in Australia?? I have tried it once and it was very grainy…I had such high hopes for the dessert I was making but it was texturally awful 🙁 Is it MEANT to be grainy straight from
the tub?
Ayaka says
This recipe is so great! I love tofutti cream cheese, but I can’t have it so much because it make me feel a little sick (anything with high fat content, I cannot have in one sit… It makes my stomach feel uncomfortable). But with this dip, because it is mixed with tofu, I can have it like pudding and still have that delicious taste! I usually use less tofutti and put some lemon juice to make it more like yogurt 🙂 It is SOOOO good!
Rachel says
UNREAL! This is so perfect with strawberries for dipping.
I have to admit that I like my sweets a little sweeter and LOVE vanilla more than a person should, so instead of over-doing it with more extract, my favorite mix-in is (don’t judge me…) powdered Sugar Free French Vanilla Coffee-mate!
Totally weird, I know, but it’s dairy free and the most perfect flavor. It is hands down my favorite mix-in for all of the CKK sugar cookie inspired recipes as well 🙂 Just thought I would share, since it really made a yummy difference in this recipe (almost like there’s Cool-Whip in it!)
Anja says
Dear Katie, this sounds great!!! I was looking for a vegan option of the graveyard cheesecake dip for Halloween. I suppose this lasts in the fridge for some hours before being served? Do you think adding some cocoa powder would work? Thanks a lot!! Greetings from cold Switzerland (oh yes, even here you do have fans!!!)
