How to make this vegan chocolate hummus
Start by soaking pitted dates in hot water for 5 minutes to soften. Add drained and rinsed chickpeas, cocoa (or carob) powder, pitted dates (that have been soaked), and unsweetened almond milk (or soy milk) to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add more milk or date water to thin it out.
Dish up and top with chia seeds and fresh berries.
To chill this delicious chocolate hummus, place it in covered jars or another container and refrigerate for a few hours.
Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to five days. However, in my house, it never lasts that long. Lol.

This was a great treat and a perfect pair with fresh fruit. This is like chocolate gnache meets pudding but without being sickly sweet. Delicious and even my 6 year old loved it.

Hi Nina. Gigi here. Thanks for you feedback. We're so glad you and your 6-year old enjoyed it. Honestly, when we were testing this recipe out for the first time it reminded me of when I used to eat frosting out of the jar as a kid. This is a much healthier version of course. 🙂
