Substitutions

  • Tahini - You can use Tahini to get a nutty texture and a creamy taste.
  • Agave Syrup - If you'd want your chocolate hummus to be extra sweet then you can use agave syrup. But, keep in mind that Agave Nectar is extremely sweet because its 90% fructose.
  • Aquafaba - If you are using canned chickpeas then you can add a bit of Aquafaba instead of water for a creamier chocolate hummus.

Why you should soak chickpeas before cooking

Chickpeas or Garbanzo beans are high in fiber and protein. I have observed from my experience that dry chickpeas which have been soaked has a better taste and texture than canned chickpeas.

But, before cooking chickpeas it is important that you soak them overnight or for at least 8-9 hours.

Soaked chickpeas are softer and mushier. And, that's exactly the kind of chickpeas which you'll need for your chocolate hummus.

Storage

The best thing about Hummus is that it stores really well. You can refrigerate your hummus below 40°F after every use to keep it safe.

BUT make sure that you store hummus in a tightly sealed container to keep out moisture and other contaminants. You can store your homemade chocolate hummus for up to 5-6 days in the refrigerator.

You can also freeze your hummus. Frozen hummus stays fresh for up to 3-months, provided you keep it safely.

You can thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then use it.

Is chocolate hummus good for you?

Many people wonder if chocolate hummus is healthy? Well YES. Chocolate Hummus is Low in Carbs and High in Fiber and Protein.

It super-healthy and has almost negligible amount of fat. Therefore yes, Chocolate Hummus is a healthy snack indeed.

So, if you are wondering if you can eat hummus for weight loss then you are absolutely correct.

Chocolate hummus is low in carb content and fat count. It is rich in fiber and will of course make you poop.

If you are wondering that Chocolate Hummus will make you fart, then that is not true. At least for this recipe where you are using cooked chickpeas.
