Instructions

Start by soaking pitted dates in hot water for at least 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.
