Oxidation Prevention Process

Baking Tips
Use perfectly ripe avocados - they should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy
To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the dip when storing
For best flavor, allow the dip to chill at least 30 minutes before serving
The lime juice serves both as flavor and as a natural preservative to prevent browning
For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream for the mascarpone/cream cheese
Choose high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor profile
Homemade chocolate chip cookies will provide more complex flavor than store-bought
For added texture, try including finely chopped nuts like pecans or hazelnuts
This dip will keep in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours if properly covered
For a more chocolatey version, increase the chocolate chips or add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
To enhance the cookie flavor, try using different cookie varieties like snickerdoodles or ginger snaps
Balance is key - if too sweet, add more lime juice; if not sweet enough, add more brown sugar

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and gently fold in half of the cookie crumbs and mini chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, maintaining some texture.
04
Fold in the crushed graham crackers, being careful not to overmix - you want to maintain some texture and visible crumbs.
05
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more brown sugar or maple syrup, one teaspoon at a time.
06
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
07
Create a decorative pattern on top by sprinkling the remaining cookie crumbs and mini chocolate chips in concentric circles or another design of your choice.
08
For the best flavor development, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
09
Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and edible flowers if desired.
10
Serve with an assortment of dippers such as vanilla wafers, graham crackers, shortbread cookies, cinnamon pita chips, sliced fruits, or pretzels.
11
If not serving immediately, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dip to prevent browning.
