Have you ever tried sweet hummus? It’s absolutely divine. I was pretty sure I would hate it the first time I experimented with it, because someone had tried to pass off multiple variations of those “black bean brownies” that are so ubiquitous on the internet. And to be honest, there’s just no way.
For a true dessert loving woman, I just found them gross. I tried several different recipes, and there was just no way they were ever going to pass in my family for a worthwhile dessert. The black beans just always ruin the texture and the taste, for my liking. I’d rather just make regular baked vegan brownies and eat a small piece for a treat than eat a bunch of calories of something that to me tastes like paste.
In general, I just don’t it like when desserts taste like they are trying too hard to be the real deal. So, I assumed the same would be the case with a sweet hummus, but I decided to give it a try. I’ve tried tons of different ideas and have found a few that are simply delicious. One of my favorites is this double chocolate chip hummus.
There’s no trying too hard here. It just tastes awesome, and sweet, and chocolatey. Some people think it tastes like double chocolate chip cookie dough, but I was never trying to make it taste like something it’s not. It’s just a sweet, chocolatey, delicious (and yes healthy) dessert spread.
I hope you enjoy it too!
Ingredients
1 can white beans drained and rinsed
1/2 cup almond butter
4 tbsp cacao powder
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla
1/8 teaspoon Himalayan Salt
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
2 green apples sliced
Place everything except the chocolate chips and the apples into a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the chocolate chips. Serve with sliced green apples. If you want a more creamy consistency, you can add a tiny bit of almond milk, a tablespoon at a time before adding in the chocolate chips.
