Made from chickpeas, tahini, maple syrup, cocoa powder and vanilla, chocolate hummus is a delicious and healthy chocolate spread.

- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup*
- Cold water
Instructions
- Place the rinsed chickpeas into a food processor with 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, a tablespoon of tahini, a teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup.
- Pulse until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides down two or three times.
- Add cold water, a teaspoonful at a time, while you process your chocolate hummus, until you have the consistency you like.

Notes
*You can also use dates to sweeten your chocolate hummus eg 2-3 medjool dates. However, this won't be as sweet as using maple or agave.
