6-Ingredient Chocolate Hummus
This easy-to-make, rich, chocolate hummus tastes something like chocolate pudding.
Servings: 1.5 cups
Ingredients
- ½ cup dried chana dal or another type of bean such as chickpeas or black beans about 1¼ cups cooked
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons tahini or other seed or nut butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Soak the chana dal for approximately 6 hours. Drain, rinse and cook the beans either in a pot on the stove, in a slow cooker or in a pressure cooker. Drain.
- Purée the chana dal, cocoa, tahini, maple syrup, vanilla and salt in the bowl of a food processor and process until blended and creamy. Adjust to taste if necessary.
- Store in a glass jar or container in the refrigerator for up to at least a week.
Notes
Save the cooking broth from the beans and refrigerate or freeze it to use later. Cook more beans or lentils in the broth, use it to thicken soups, season and drink it like bone broth or add it to quick breads and doughs.
