MORE LIKE DESSERT + LESS LIKE HUMMUS π«
The finished product of this 5-Ingredient wonder is everything like dessert and nothing like hummus.
Garbanzo Beans + Peanut Butter + Dates + Vanilla + Cocoa Powder = YUM!
TARAβS TIPS FORΒ PERFECT BROWNIE BATTER DESSERT HUMMUS:
- The best way to blend up dates is to soak them first.Β That way, you donβt end up with any chunks of dates.
- Canned or dry beans? It doesnβt matter! If starting with dry garbanzo beans: place one cup of beans + 3 cups of water in instant pot, press manual and adjust timer to 40 minutes, allow pressure to release naturally, drain and cool.
- One and a half cups of cooked garbanzo beans = 1 can.
- Peel your chick peas! Yes, it takes time but then you end up with the smoothest dessert hummus possible.
- Eat it cold!
- Add water to your blender when blending a little at a time.Β Depending on how much liquid is in your garbanzo beans will determine how much water you need.Β Add slowly so that you get the right consistency.
- Swap the dates forΒ 2 tbsp maple syrup if you likeΒ
- Choose your cocoa powder wisely.Β Check your labels to be sure cocoa is the only ingredient on the label of your cocoa powder. The higher the percentage of cacao in your chocolate product, the more pure the product is.Β Therefore, you have a less chance of having a milk-based filler in the product.
- Freeze leftovers.Β Here is my trick: I use a covered ice cube tray and fill it with spoonfuls of my edible vegan cookie dough and store it in my freezer.Β That way, when I am craving a little something sweet, I can eat a few of these and they are totally guilt-free! ππ»ππ»
