Chocolate Hummus

Indulge, or at least pretend you’re indulging in this uber-delicious and super-healthy little snack.

Oh, and it’s best served with animal crackers (no animals were harmed in the photography or consumption of this treat).

Chocolate Hummus

1 can organic cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
5 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup + 2 Tbs. real maple syrup
1/4 cup + 2 Tbs. non-dairy milk
1 Tbs. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. sea salt

 

Puree the chickpeas in the bowl of a large food processor until somewhat smooth. 

Add the chocolate powder and chips, scrape down the sides, and then process again until smooth. 

 

Drizzle in both the syrup and the milk while the processor is still running. 

 

Finish with sprinkling in the vanilla and salt and then processing until super smooth.

 

Refrigerate immediately. After about 4 hours in the fridge, the hummus is heavenly.
