Ingredients
- 15.5 oz can of chickpeas
- ¼ cup aquafaba (the liquid from the chickpea can)
- ¼ cup Tahini
- 2-3 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp hot honey
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- 2-3 TBSP ice water
TOP WITH...
- 2 TBSP hot honey plus extra to taste
- ⅛ tsp sweet paprika
- ½ tsp Calabrian chili paste optional
Instructions
- Remove ¼ cup of liquid from the can of chickpeas and set aside. Drain and discard remaining liquid. For an optional garnish, reserve a few chickpeas for topping your hummus or pop open a second can if you want to add a bunch.
- Add chickpeas to a small food processor along with tahini, olive oil, hot honey, cumin, and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved aquafaba and blend on high speed until light and creamy.
- For creamier hummus that resembles a dip more than a spread (this is how my restaurant serves it and I love it!) add the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of aquafaba and blend. To thin further, blend in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer hummus to a bowl and top with reserved chickpeas (optional) and hot honey. Sprinkle with paprika.
- For a spicier hot honey, mix in some calabrian chili paste. Cayenne pepper can also be used for more spice.
- Feel free to add extra hot honey and paprika if desired. Serve with an assortment of dippers like pita bread, pita chips, crackers, and/or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!

Notes
- No food processor? No problem! I broke mine recently (waiting on upcoming November sales to replace it) and have used my immersion blender to make this hummus with excellent results!
