Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas 15 oz, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk dairy or non-dairy, as needed

Method
 

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Place chickpeas, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a food processor or high-powered blender.
  3. Process for 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture is very smooth and creamy.
  4. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time while blending until you reach your desired consistency. The hummus should be thick but smooth and dippable.
  5. Taste the chocolate hummus and adjust sweetness or cocoa powder to your preference. Blend again briefly if adding more ingredients.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with fresh fruit, pretzels, or graham crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, blend for a full 3-4 minutes and don't skip patting the chickpeas dry. If you want an extra chocolatey flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips after blending. The hummus will thicken in the refrigerator, so you may need to stir in a splash of milk before serving leftovers.
