Chickpea Dessert Chocolate Sauce

This chickpea dessert is everything you never thought of using chickpeas for. This is a healthier alternative to a traditional chocolate sauce made with chickpeas.

Prep Time
20 mins
Servings: 6 -8

Ingredients

  • 1 398 ml chickpeas strained and drained, canned
  • 2 tbsp. carob powder Bob's Red Mill brand
  • 2 tbsp. cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup or agave
  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 tbsp. water ice cold
  • 2 tbsp. peanut butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove the skins from your chickpeas.  This is quite simple but tedious, so this is completely optional but it really makes a difference. Simply pinch the chickpeas and voila, the skin peels off!
  2. Transfer chickpeas to a food processor and all your ingredients apart from your water and peanut butter.
  3. Process till smooth, around 1-2 minutes.  You may have to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is well blended.
  4. When everything is smooth add your peanut butter and slowly add in your water while blending.  Blend for around 20-30 seconds.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the fridge before serving!

Notes

  • I love this with fresh fruit, crackers, on toast or in crepes!
  • Lasts for up to 5 days in a tight sealed container in the fridge.
