Dark Chocolate Hummus
Would you believe me if I tell you that a decadent chocolate dessert can also be healthy and high in protein, while also being super easy and quick to make? This dark chocolate hummus proves that eating healthy doesn't mean spending hours in the kitchen or giving up on your favorite treats.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 can Cannelini beans low sodium
- ⅓ cup Date Syrup depending on desired sweetness, and diet allotted sugars
- 1 tsp Vanila Extract
- 3½ tbsp Cacao powder
- 2 tbsp Aquafaba (juice from the can of beans), more or less depending on desired consistency
- 1 cup Cashews raw
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Soak the raw cashews for at least an hour, preferably overnight for a smoother consistency.
- Drain the cashews and add them to a blender.
- Add 1-2 tbsp of the aquafaba, reserving the rest if needed later.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add all of the other ingredients and blend until smooth, adding more aquafaba if you want a thinner consistency. You will likely need to push the ingredients down the sides with a rubber spatula as they tend to ride up the side of the container during blending, and continue to blend.
- Serve it with some fruit -or pretezels, crackers, sliced bread...
