Easy Chocolate Hummus
This chocolate hummus blends chickpeas with almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and dark chocolate to create a smooth, creamy spread with mild sweetness and rich cocoa flavor. The chickpeas provide a soft base while almond butter and dark chocolate add depth and smoothness. It’s a unique alternative to traditional hummus, suitable as a dessert dip or snack accompaniment.
Ingredients
- 400 g chickpeas rinsed and drained, with the skins off if preferred, cooked, canned, 14 oz
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 120 ml milk extra 3-4 tbsp if using a blender, 1/2 cup
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or more to your taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional, or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- salt
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
- 40 g dark chocolate if you want a smoother hummus then grate chocolate, chopped small, 1.5 oz
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients through to the cocoa powder into a high-powered food processor or blender and whiz for a minute. (If using a blender, you will need to add an extra 3-4 tbsp milk to get the blender going.)
- Then add in the chocolate pieces and blend into the consistency you desire.
- If you want your hummus less thick then add in a bit more milk.
Notes
- Peeling chickpeas can make the hummus smoother but is optional and time-consuming.
- Add extra milk gradually if using a blender to help with blending and achieve desired consistency.
- Adjust maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
