Ingredients

1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed with skins removed
1/4 cup tahini
2 Tbsp peanut butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
3 Tbsp milk
2 Tbsp chocolate chips (I used Lily’s chocolate chips)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp espresso powder
1/4 tsp salt
Serve with fresh fruit, pretzels or graham crackers

Instructions

Prepare the chickpeas. To get the creamiest hummus, first we need to remove the skins from the chickpeas. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and place them in a bowl of cold water. Using your fingers, gently rub the chickpeas together to remove the skins. The skins will float to the top of the water and can be removed with a slotted spoon. Give the chickpeas a final rinse under cold water to remove any remaining skins.
Make the chocolate mixture. In a small saucepan, combine tahini, peanut butter, maple syrup, milk and chocolate chips. Heat over medium-low heat, whisking until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
Blend the ingredients. Combine the chickpeas, chocolate mixture, cocoa powder, vanilla, espresso powder and salt in a food processor or high-powdered blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, feel free to add in more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until you’ve reached the desired consistency.
Chill and serve. Transfer the chocolate hummus to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen and the texture to set. Serve chilled with your favorite dippers. I like to top mine with a little shaved chocolate!
