Dark Chocolate Hummus [Tastes Like Brownie Batter]
Description
This dessert hummus uses cooked or canned black beans as a base, which are blended with raw unsweetened cocoa powder and date syrup for sweetness. Peanut butter adds creaminess and a mild nutty taste while vanilla extract enhances the chocolate flavor. The mixture is processed until smooth and thick; its consistency can be adjusted by adding small amounts of unsweetened non-dairy milk to thin it out for spreading or dipping.
The final product tastes like fudge or brownie batter but with a different nutritional profile. It can be garnished with dark chocolate chips to increase the chocolate intensity. The hummus pairs well with fresh fruit slices like apple, banana, and strawberries, as well as snacks such as pretzels, graham crackers, marshmallows, or cookies, offering versatility as a dessert or snack dip.
Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or freeze in airtight packaging for up to 3 months without loss of texture or flavor.

- 1.5 cups black beans cooked or canned (approx. 15 ounce can)
- ¼-1/3 cup date syrup or liquid sweetener of choice

Instructions
- Add all the dessert hummus ingredients, except the milk to a food processor, starting with ¼ cup of the date syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice). Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides, as needed. Taste and add more sweetener if preferred.
- Now you'll have a pretty thick spread. If you prefer to thin it out, start by adding 2 tablespoons of your non-dairy milk and pulse to combine. Add more if needed.
- Transfer to a bowl and garnish with dark chocolate chips, if using. Then serve your dessert hummus with dippers of choice. Enjoy!
Notes
- Begin with ¼ cup of liquid sweetener; add more after tasting to achieve desired sweetness.
- Blend ingredients first without non-dairy milk for a thicker consistency; add milk gradually as needed.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container refrigerated for 3-4 days or freeze airtight for up to 3 months.
