INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 cup cooked chickpeas
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or liquid sweetener of your choice
- 3 Tbsp. cacao powder or dutch processed cocoa/dark cocoa
- 2 Tbsp. almond butter or cashew, peanut, coconut butter…
- 2 Tbsp. espresso or 1 Tbsp. instant coffee dissolved in 2 Tbsp. hot water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Water or milk or aquafaba if needed for thinner consistency
INSTRUCTIONS
To Prepare the chickpeas
-
You can follow this process to prepare chickpeas from dried. The basic steps include soaking them for 8 hours, then straining, rinsing, and then boiling until tender (35-40 minutes).
-
If you're using tinned chickpeas, then you don't have to do any prep. Although, if you want super creamy results, you cook the chickpeas with 1/2 tsp baking soda for 15-20 minutes until the chickpeas become mushy.
To Blend the chocolate hummus
- Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. This can take several minutes depending on how smooth you want the chocolate hummus to be.
- Finally, taste the hummus and adjust any of the ingredients; adding more sweetener, nut butter, cocoa powder, etc.
- Enjoy as an appetizer, snack, or dessert – topped and served in several ways. You can also serve it alongside several breakfast/dessert dishes: pancakes, french toast, scones, overnight oats, chia pudding, etc.
