What is chocolate hummus?
Chocolate hummus is a sweet and creamy dip made from chickpeas (garbanzo beans), cocoa powder, nut butter (like almond butter), vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup or coconut sugar.
Chocolate hummus recipes sometimes fold in chocolate chips or even bits of brownie. Traditional hummus recipes are typically savory and made with chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.
Just like savory hummus, chocolate hummus dip can easily be whipped up in a food processor or a high-speed blender.
