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, like a chocolate mousse, or you could serve it on the side of fruit for a special dessert or indulgent snack.

This chocolate hummus won’t go completely smooth. If you’re looking for a creamier alternative, head over and try my amazing tofu chocolate mousse.
