Chocolate Hummus

Yum! This chocolate hummus recipe is a revelation.

We’ll admit, when we first heard of chocolate hummus we had our doubts. Why change what is fundamentally one of the greatest dips, ever? Hummus is already staple recipe in so many vegan households, so we approached this with caution.

But trust us, this totally works. Tahini is a surprisingly versatile ingredient and, along with the chickpeas, these two ingredients match perfectly with the sweetness from the maple syrup and the bitterness from the cocoa powder.

We’ll often recreate this recipe when we’re looking for sweet snack. We serve it with pretzels or simple spread it on toast.

Enjoy!
