Ingredients
Chocolate Hummus
- 15 ounces can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Blend base ingredients: In a food processor, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas, avocado oil, maple syrup, and tahini. Blend for one to two minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring a uniform texture.
- Add chocolate and flavorings: Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and flaky sea salt to the food processor. Blend again until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Adjust consistency: If the hummus appears grainy or too thick, add warm water one tablespoon at a time while blending. Continue until the desired creamy consistency is reached.
- Serve and garnish: Transfer the finished chocolate hummus to a serving bowl. Optionally, sprinkle extra flaky sea salt on top as a garnish to enhance the flavor and visual appeal.
- Enjoy: Serve the chocolate hummus with fresh fruit, crackers, cookies, or pretzels for a delicious and healthy snack.
Notes
- Use warm water to help smooth out the texture without thinning the hummus too much.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- For a nuttier flavor, consider using roasted tahini.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Allow the hummus to sit for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
