A creamy, rich, and slightly bitter dark chocolate hummus paired with fresh strawberries and crunchy rice cakes, perfect for a healthy and indulgent snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2–3 tablespoons water or almond milk
  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Plain rice cakes (lightly salted or unsalted)

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium and any canning liquid taste (about 2 minutes). Hull and slice the fresh strawberries just before serving.
  2. In your food processor, combine the chickpeas, cocoa powder, maple syrup, tahini, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  3. Pulse for about 1 minute, then run continuously for 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides as needed until creamy and mousse-like. Add water or almond milk one tablespoon at a time until spreadable (another 1-2 minutes).
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or salt as needed.
  5. Spoon the chocolate hummus into a bowl and arrange the sliced strawberries around it. Place rice cakes on the side for dipping or spreading.
  6. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and stir before serving.

Notes

Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for smoother flavor. Rinse chickpeas well to remove metallic canned taste. Adjust texture with water or almond milk gradually. Store leftovers airtight in fridge up to 3 days. Add aquafaba if hummus is too dry. Fresh strawberries preferred but frozen thawed berries can be used.
