Who says you can't have a plant protein and fibre-packed chocolate dessert?

I love this recipe because it feels indulgent (and almost cake-batter like), but also provides some important and beneficial nutrients to fuel your body too. Don't worry - there is no garlic in this hummus, just delicious flavourings like cacao powder and nut butter. It is a great one to serve on its own, almost like a chocolate mousse, or you could serve it on the side of fruit for a special dessert or indulgent snack.

This recipe is really adaptable too. As my diet is low in added sugar, this recipe is sweet enough for me, but feel free to add extra dates or a touch of maple syrup for extra sweetness if you need it. You could adapt the quantity of plant milk to change the consistency too. Find what works for you!
