Step 1

You can follow this process to prepare chickpeas from dried. The basic steps include soaking them for 8 hours, then straining, rinsing, and then boiling until tender (35-40 minutes).

Step 2

If you're using tinned chickpeas, then you don't have to do any prep. Although, if you want super creamy results, you cook the chickpeas with 1/2 tsp baking soda for 15-20 minutes until the chickpeas become mushy.

Step 3

Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. This can take several minutes depending on how smooth you want the chocolate hummus to be.

Step 4

Finally, taste the hummus and adjust any of the ingredients; adding more sweetener, nut butter, cocoa powder, etc.If the hummus is too thick, then you can add 1 tbsp ice water or an ice-cube at a time until the correct consistency is reached. You could also use the leftover aquafaba (liquid from the tin or boiling water from the dried chickpeas) to thin the hummus.
