Chocolate Hummus – who would have thought?! Protein and fibre rich. Fluffy and rich, perfect with fresh summer fruits. Yields 1 1/2 cups, serves about 6 people at 4 tablespoons per.
Add chickpeas, cacao powder, maple syrup, tahini, vanilla, sea salt and coffee if desired to a blender, and blend until smooth. Stop and scrape the sides down as you go.
Transfer to a small dish or plate and enjoy as is, or sprinkle cacao nibs and toasted hazelnuts over the top to finish.
Notes
This is best served with a medley of freshly prepared fruits: strawberries, cherries, blueberries, pear, watermelon, orange, kiwifruit.
If you want to cut your kiwifruit into a fancy shape like I have here, watch this video.
Personally the addition of coffee takes it next level for me!
Store in the fridge, mix well before serving.
