Craving chocolate? Oh do I ever have you covered with this delicious chocolate hummus dip recipe! It’s made with healthy ingredients including chickpeas and chocolate both of which you will love. Trust me… you’ll never know it is made with chickpeas either.

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s chat about sugar cravings. So where do cravings come from?

Too much low grade chronic-stress, not eating enough calories, exercising too much, eating too few carbs, not eating enough protein, a deprivation mindset around food, having a poor relationship with food and not eating balanced meals throughout the day that do not keep you full.

If you’re sugar battling cravings, consider these things and of course, if you need more help you can always schedule a nutrition consultation with me.

Healthy Chocolate Hummus

Well now that we got that out of the way dive into this chocolatey hummus recipe! Made with chickpeas, tahini, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup and vanilla extract, it’s an easy recipe to whip up in a food processor or blender when cravings strike!

Chickpeas are high fiber making them great for weight loss and they’re perfect for thickening this! Maple syrup boosts the immune system and lightly sweetens the deal. Tahini is a great source of healthy fat and makes this chocolate desert hummus creamy and delicious.

Unsweetened cocoa powder is a good source of minerals and antioxidants and gives this hummus its wonderful chocolatey flavor.

You’ll never know this chocolate hummus recipe is made with healthy ingredients much less chickpeas. Similar to my healthy chickpea brownie recipe, you can’t taste the chickpeas at all. Great for serving little ones or picky eaters!

How to Make Chocolate Hummus Dip

Controlling the fat and sugar content is key in making this healthy chocolate hummus fewer calories. I swapped oil for water in this recipe to keep the calories lower while maintaining healthy fat with the tahini.

You could of course, experiment with adding olive oil in place of the tahini or swapping peanut butter or almond butter for it. You want a brownie batter consistency with your chocolate hummus.

I also added a small amount of real maple syrup to sweeten the hummus. Honey, agave, or even a zero-calorie sweetener like monk fruit or stevia would work too.

If you look at store bought chocolate hummus, it has a lot of added sugar. Making a dark chocolate hummus recipe at home, you can control how much sugar goes into your dip.

Feel free to adjust the sweetener to your liking. The amount listed in the recipe is what I discovered tasted best.

Serving Your Dark Chocolate Hummus

Serve your chocolate hummus with fresh fruit like strawberries, apple slices, sliced bananas, pears, raspberries. Fruit is perfect for dipping!

Pretzels or crackers are great for a little snack that tastes like dessert.

Spread a healthy protein waffle with some chocolate hummus dip on top for a healthier version of Nutella on top of your waffle.

Storing Chocolate Hummus

Storing: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I don’t recommend freezing this chocolate hummus recipe.
