Make a rich, chocolatey dessert dip using chickpeas. This healthy dessert dip satisfies sweet cravings and pairs well with fruit or graham crackers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 24 tablespoons water or milk (as needed for texture)

Instructions

  1. Place the rinsed and drained chickpeas, maple syrup, cocoa powder, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt into a food processor.
  2. Process the ingredients until the mixture starts to combine. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Continue processing. Add water or milk one tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches a smooth, thick, brownie batter consistency.
  4. Taste the dip and add a small amount more sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
  5. Transfer the chocolate hummus to a serving bowl. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a thinner dip, add more liquid slowly until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve this clean eating sweet with apple slices, strawberries, pretzels, or graham crackers.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey if you do not need this to be vegan.
