Ingredients
- 30 ounces chickpeas 2 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 8 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or to taste
- 1/2 cup tahini or almond butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond milk plus extra if thinner consistency is desired
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup walnuts toasted, chopped fine
- 1 ounce dark chocolate chopped, or mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the rinsed chickpeas in a saucepan and add water to cover the chickpeas by about two inches. Add the baking soda, and bring the chickpeas to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chickpeas simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender and the skins float to the top.
- Drain the chickpeas in a colander. Return them to the pan and add cold water to cover the chickpeas. Let the skins float to the top of the water. Using your hands or a slotted spoon, remove the skins. Drain, rinse, and repeat about four times or until most of the skins are gone.
- Place the chickpeas, cocoa powder, maple syrup, tahini, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of almond milk and a pinch of sea salt into the bowl of a food processor. Cover and process for about 30 seconds.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, taste, and add extra almond milk or maple syrup as needed to thin or sweeten. Process for anouther 1 5-20 seconds or until the hummus is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, sprinkle the chopped walnuts and chopped dark chocolate over the top and serve with fresh fruit, pretzels, or cookies to dip.
