Chef's Notes

Lisa's Tips
As I mentioned at the beginning this is moderately sweet, not overly sweet. So feel free to tweak the level of sweetness to your preference.

Oh My Lanta!!! What a treat, so good 👍 Changed nothing and it has a great chocolate taste without the sugary sweet. Had it first with graham crackers while everyone else had s'mores, and mine was better than theirs. Great spread on strawberries and I cannot wait to find all the goodies that I can make. I did freeze in 1/3 parts, so I can have any time I am ready, and it microwave defrosted perfectly. Thank You!, Lisa ❣️

A wonderfully delicious treat and so easy to make. I gifted my Iranian friends with most of it because it made a lot of decadent chocolatey hummus and they were absolutely amazed. As I was enjoying it, I thought it would also make a deliciously decadent chocolate frosting as well. Has anyone used it as frosting? Thanks for sharing this.

Great!

This is chocolate pudding. Delicious with whipped cream. Just FYI..: I cut the recipe in half and had no issue in my Vitamix. I think because i have the 32 ounce container. Using two cans of beans would not have worked. Yummy!

outstanding!!!!  not overly sweet & has a wonderful rich flavor.  I could eat it as pudding however…. it’s wonderful on bananas, apples or anything you want to add a bit of chocolate.  My only curiosity is the serving size.  I’m assuming the nutritional values are based on 1 serving.

I love this dish. I am so surprised! I thought it would be a bit earthy to be a good chocolate pudding but it is perfect. We liked it best with fresh apple slices which again really surprised me. Somehow the fresh crunchiness of the apple worked brilliantly with the natural earthiness of the beans. It is delicious. I used honey instead of maple syrup and water instead of milk and it was gorgeous.

Just brought this to a party and it was a huge hit! Served it with strawberries, mandarin orange segments, graham crackers, and pretzels. So creamy and delicious!!

I only had my small Nutribullet at the lake and only 1 can of chick peas, but I ended up with a decent chocolate hummus. It was so thick, it was difficult to get it to blend. Like it said in the recipe, 1/2 a recipe makes it hard to blend. I had to weed out a few unblended chickpeas. I decided to add in some items from other recipes, like a little powdered sugar because I only had a bottle of maple syrup from Cracker Barrel! I substituted peanut butter because I had no tahini. I added a little avocado oil and used regular milk because I had no almond milk here.
It wasn't as smooth as it could've been if it had all been blended well, but, my 25 yr old daughter approved to take it to a lake party for young adults from church. We sprinkled heath bits on top and put it in a serving dish shaped like a boat with a tiny oar for a spoon! I felt I needed to dress it up since plain, it looks a bit uninviting!! She took thin pretzels coated with cinnamon&sugar, and Graham crackers to serve with it. We were all out of fruit, unfortunately! I am anxious to hear if 20 somethings like it. I will make it again for us, much cheaper than buying at the store when not on sale.

This is an amazing recipe.
Everyone at home loves it. Thank you so much.

Suzy ★ 5.0/5

This chocolate hummus is awesome. It is like a healthy version of raw cookie dough. After the first taste I was thinking on the next flavours.... like chopped hazelnuts or chocolate chips or leave the cocoa powder out and adding nuts or raisins or again chocolate chips. OMG
Thanks Lisa
