Chocolate Hummus
Chef: Mandy Serves: 4
Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1 tin of chickpeas
3 tablespoons of sugar free cocoa powder
1 tablespoon tahini
2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup or 2 chopped medjool dates
Cold water
You will need a blender or food processor to make this recipe.
Hummus doesn’t have to be savoury.Chocolate hummus is a delicious and healthy alternative to chocolate spread that’s full of protein.
Method
Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
Put the chickpeas in your food processor or blender with 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, a tablespoon of tahini and 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup – or 2 chopped medjool dates
Process until smooth – this will take longer if you’re using dates. Scrape the sides of your processor down with a spatula and process again
Add 1-2 spoonfuls of cold water until you have the consistency that you like.
Use as a dip with fruit or spread onto rice cakes. Why not make rice cake faces with your children like our mini chefs have done?
