The Sweet Chickpea Hummus is a recipe from Plant-Based Cuisine that might initially seem a bit perplexing. Using legumes, specifically Chickpeas, to create a Sweet Cream is quite unusual. However, once you overcome the initial hesitation, you’ll find a Sweet Hummus that’s excellent for spreading on bread, cookies, or even for filling tarts. In this case, since it’s a Vegan Recipe, it’s advisable to opt for Vegan Shortcrust Pastry.

To prepare the Cocoa Sweet Hummus, the process is similar to that of traditional Chickpea Hummus. Simply blend the Chickpeas with Cocoa, Vegetable Butter, and flavors such as Vanilla and Cinnamon. As for the Vegetable Butter, a substitute for Tahini, it refers to a pure nut cream made from almonds, hazelnuts, or peanuts. You can make it by blending one of these three ingredients with a teaspoon of oil for a long time, or opt for a ready-made product available in well-stocked supermarkets or organic stores.

This Chocolate Chickpea Hummus Recipe is perfect not only if you don’t know how to cook canned chickpeas but also if you’re looking for something healthy and tasty for breakfast or a snack. You can choose whether or not to add sweetener; in any case, it’s better to choose something natural like Maple Syrup or Agave Syrup.
