This dessert hummus blends chickpeas with cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate, and maple syrup into a smooth, spreadable dip. It works well with fruit, pretzels, or graham crackers for a snack or party platter, and comes together in one food processor bowl with no baking required.

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate, melted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips, for topping

Method

  1. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.

  2. Add the chickpeas, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, peanut butter, milk, vanilla, and salt to a food processor.

  3. Process on high for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy.

  4. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired, then process for another 15 seconds to combine.

  5. Transfer to a serving bowl, smooth the top with a spatula, and scatter the dark chocolate chips over the surface.

  6. Serve immediately with fruit, pretzels, or graham crackers, or cover and refrigerate up to 5 days.
