Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can chickpeas or black beans (rinsed and drained)
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) runny almond butter
- ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- ¼ cup (60 ml) coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1–2 tbsps non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Preparation: Drain and rinse canned legumes under cool running water to eliminate excess starch and sodium, ensuring thorough cleansing.
- Blending Foundation: Transfer cleaned legumes into a pristine food processor, creating a clean environment for mixing ingredients like cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Texture Transformation: Pulse and blend ingredients on high speed, periodically scraping container sides to guarantee uniform incorporation, processing until the mixture achieves a velvety, ultra-smooth consistency.
- Consistency Calibration: If the mixture seems too dense, introduce small increments of non-dairy milk to create a luxurious, spreadable texture, adjusting sweetness and chocolate intensity as needed.
- Flavor Maturation: Refrigerate the silky chocolate spread for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and thickness to develop.
- Serving Preparation: Arrange an assortment of dipping companions like strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, and graham crackers, optionally folding in chocolate chips for an extra layer of decadence.
- Final Presentation: Serve chilled, presenting this protein-packed, dessert-inspired dip that bridges the gap between healthy snacking and indulgent treat.
Notes
- Rinse Thoroughly: Remove excess starch and sodium from canned legumes by washing under cool running water to improve overall taste and texture.
- Blending Pro Tip: Use a completely dry, powerful food processor to achieve an ultra-smooth, velvety consistency without unwanted moisture.
- Texture Adjustment: Add small amounts of non-dairy milk if the mixture seems too dense, ensuring a luxurious, spreadable chocolate dip.
- Flavor Enhancement: Chill the hummus for at least 30 minutes to develop deeper flavors and reach optimal thickness before serving.
