Jump to Recipe

Are you ready for a snack that’s as indulgent as dessert but still packs a punch of nutrition?

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite guilt-free treats: Chocolate Hummus!

It’s creamy, rich, and perfectly sweetened with the natural goodness of dates. Plus, we’re using olive oil for a silky texture that’ll have you dipping everything in sight! 🥖🍎🍓

Here are some amazing things you can dip into this chocolate hummus to make your snack time even more delicious:
• Fresh Fruit 🍎🍓🍌 – Apple slices, strawberries, bananas, or even pears. The natural sweetness of fruit pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate flavor.
• Pretzels 🥨 – The saltiness of pretzels and the creamy chocolate hummus are a match made in heaven. It’s the perfect salty-sweet combo!
• Graham Crackers 🍪 – If you’re craving something a little more indulgent, graham crackers are a great choice. They add a crunchy texture that complements the smooth hummus.
• Rice Cakes 🍚 – For a lighter dip option, rice cakes are perfect. You get the crunch without the extra heaviness.
• Biscotti or Crusty Bread 🍞 – For a more sophisticated treat, try dipping a slice of biscotti or a crunchy piece of bread.
• Granola 🥣 – If you want to go the healthy route, dip granola or even your favorite cereal.
• Mini Waffles or Pancakes 🧇 – Want to make it extra special? Use mini waffles or pancakes for a fun snack!
• Marshmallows 🍡 – For a more decadent treat, dip marshmallows. The soft, fluffy texture is heavenly with chocolate hummus!

So many options for your dipping pleasure! Which one are you most excited to try?

CHOCOLATE HUMMUS

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed 🥫
  • 5–6 Medjool dates, pitted (soak in hot water for 10 minutes if needed) 🌴
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
  • 2–3 tbsp olive oil 🫒
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
  • 1/4 tsp salt 🧂
  • 2–3 tbsp water (adjust for desired consistency) 💧

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup if you like it sweeter 🍁
  • A pinch of cinnamon for a warm touch ✨

Instructions

Blend it up! Add the chickpeas, dates, cocoa powder, olive oil, vanilla, and salt to a food processor or blender.

Start blending, adding water a tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches your desired creaminess. You want it smooth and spreadable!

Give it a taste and adjust the sweetness or cocoa level if needed. Feel free to add a splash of maple syrup if you like it extra sweet.

Transfer the hummus to a bowl and serve with apple slices, strawberries, pretzels, or even spread it on toast!
