Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons almond butter (or tahini)
- 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (such as almond or oat milk)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons optional chocolate chips (for garnishing)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess sodium and the canning liquid.
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond butter, non-dairy milk, and a pinch of salt.
Process the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
If the hummus is too thick, add additional tablespoons of non-dairy milk, one at a time, and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the chocolate hummus and adjust the sweetness by adding an extra tablespoon of maple syrup if preferred. Blend briefly to incorporate.
Transfer the chocolate hummus into a serving bowl or airtight container. If desired, sprinkle with chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately with fruits like strawberries, apple slices, or pretzels, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
