Chocolate Hummus
Description
This recipe begins by rinsing canned chickpeas and rubbing off some skins to improve smoothness. Combined with cacao powder, tahini, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, the mixture blends into a dessert-style hummus. The reserved aquafaba (chickpea liquid) is gradually added to achieve the desired creamy texture. The tahini provides a nutty undertone, and the cocoa powder introduces chocolate richness without overpowering the natural nuttiness of chickpeas.
The resulting chocolate hummus can be served as a dip alongside berries, cookies, or pretzels, offering a protein-rich alternative to traditional chocolate spreads. Its texture is smooth and creamy, with a balance of sweetness and earthiness from the beans.
This recipe yields about 2 cups, with portion size roughly 2 tablespoons. Leftover chocolate hummus keeps well refrigerated for up to 4 days and should be stirred before serving again. Tahini may be substituted with peanut butter to alter flavor and texture.

- If using dried chickpeas, cook, drain, and cool before starting the recipe.
- Reserve the chickpea liquid (aquafaba) to thin the hummus as needed and freeze extras for use in soups or sauces.

- Tahini can be replaced with another nut butter like peanut butter if desired.
- Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; stir well before re-serving.
