Chocolate Hummus
Description
Using canned chickpeas as the base, this chocolate hummus incorporates cacao powder and maple syrup for sweetness and chocolate notes. Tahini or an alternative nut butter adds richness and creaminess while vanilla extract enhances aroma. The mixture is blended in a high-powered blender until smooth, with milk added to adjust the thickness for desired spreadability.
The hummus offers a moderately sweet treat that can be customized by increasing sweetness or thinning with more milk. Its texture is creamy and thick, suitable for dipping fresh or dried fruits, or spreading on crackers for a snack with a chocolate twist.
This versatile dip is easy to prepare and provides an alternative way to enjoy chickpeas in a dessert-style preparation without being overly sweet.
Ingredients
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas drained
- 3/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup milk any type works
- 1/3 cup tahini or nut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a high-powered blender. Turn the blender on while simultaneously using the tamper to push down on the ingredients, until it's blended smooth. Give it a taste, and if you'd like it a bit sweeter you can add more maple syrup. If you'd like a thinner texture, add a splash more milk.
- Serve with strawberries, and apple slices or other fresh fruit, dried fruit, or crackers.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness of the hummus by adding more maple syrup to suit your personal preference.
- To thin the texture, add a little more milk gradually until the desired consistency is reached.
