Tara’s Tips For Perfect Cake Batter Dessert Hummus
- The best way to blend up dates is to soak them first. That way, they are easier to blend + turn out smoother.
- Can or dry beans? It doesn’t 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 chickpeas! Yes, it takes time but then you end up with the smoothest dessert hummus possible. After your drain + rinse them out of a can, peel each one. If you are cooking your dry beans, allow them to cool + then take the skins off.
- Eat it cold! It is WAY better COLD!
- Freeze leftovers. 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. That way, when I am craving a little something sweet, I can eat a few of these for a fiber-filled power snack!
- Add water to your blender when blending a little at a time. Depending on how much liquid is in your garbanzo beans will determine how much water you need. Add slowly so that you get the right consistency.
- Swap the dates for 2 tbsp maple syrup if you prefer.
- Choose your cake batter wisely. Some cake batters have a whole host of unnecessary ingredients and are not free of animal products. Read the labels! I use Simple Mills Vanilla Cake Mix.
