Chocolate SunButter Hummus

Indulge in creamy Chocolate SunButter Hummus! Perfect as a healthy dessert dip or spread, made with chickpeas, cocoa, and sweet maple syrup.

When the groundhog saw his shadow this year, I fully embraced the news as my cue to keep hibernating just a little longer.

This harsh winter has had me leaning into cozy nights, comfort food, and meaningful moments at home.

Like gathering on the couch with M to watch the Super Bowl halftime show this past weekend.

Seeing Bad Bunny take that stage felt electric and unifying; I loved his message and the way his performance brought people together in celebration and joy.

Even in the chill of February, it reminded me how powerful shared experiences can be.

For Valentine’s Day, we’re keeping that same energy by spending the evening with another couple, making homemade pasta from scratch.

I’m predicting it will be equal parts messy, delicious, and heart-filling.

Still, I can’t help but daydream about the warmer days ahead and everything spring promises: longer light, budding blooms, and more reasons to gather outdoors.

In the meantime, I’m channeling that anticipation into simple, shareable recipes like this Chocolate Hummus.

It’s something sweet, nourishing, and perfect for passing around.

In fact, I’m bringing a batch to a friend’s daughter’s first birthday this Monday!

I love the idea of celebrating life’s little milestones with a wholesome treat everyone can dip into together.

This Chocolate SunButter Hummus is a healthy dessert dip or spread, made with chickpeas, cocoa, and sweet maple syrup.

What You Need to Make Chocolate SunButter Hummus

What you need to make Chocolate Hummus:

• chickpeas
• Organic SunButter
• unsweetened cocoa powder
• pure maple syrup 
• unsweetened almond milk
• sea salt 

Toppings

• Vegan chocolate chips
• Sliced almonds
• Fresh berries
• Coconut flakes

That’s it!

How to Make Chocolate SunButter Hummus

To make your Chocolate SunButter Hummus, start by draining and rinsing a can of chickpeas, then place them in a food processor with a pinch of salt and blend until smooth.

Add 1/2 cup of Organic SunButter, 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/3 cup of maple syrup, then blend again until creamy and fully combined.

Slowly pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, blending until the hummus reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.

Taste and adjust the sweetness or cocoa level if desired, then blend briefly again.

Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy as a dip with fruit, gluten-free crackers, or as a decadent spread.

Organic SunButter

Organic SunButter brings a rich, creamy texture and naturally nutty flavor that makes this Chocolate Hummus especially luscious and satisfying.

Made from organically grown sunflower seeds, it offers a smooth, velvety base that blends beautifully with cocoa and maple syrup for a balanced chocolate spread.

Its mild, slightly roasted taste enhances the dessert-like flavor without overpowering the chocolate.

Using SunButter keeps the recipe completely nut-free, vegan, and gluten-free.

Organic SunButter not only adds wholesome, plant-based richness, but also makes this hummus accessible for those with nut allergies.

This Chocolate Hummus is proof that simple, high-quality ingredients truly make all the difference in a recipe!

Swaps and Substitutions

This Chocolate SunButter Hummus is versatile and easy to adapt to your pantry or taste preferences.

If you don’t have almond milk, any plant-based milk like oat, soy, or cashew works beautifully.

Maple syrup can be swapped for agave, coconut nectar, or even a touch of brown rice syrup for a slightly different sweetness profile.

For an extra nutty flavor, try using a chocolate almond butter or peanut butter instead of Chocolate SunButter, though it will change the taste slightly.

If you like your hummus thicker or more dessert-like, simply reduce the liquid; for a looser, dippable consistency, add a splash more plant milk.

Gluten-free crackers, fresh fruit, or even pretzels make excellent dipping options, making this recipe perfect for snacking or entertaining.

How to Serve Chocolate SunButter Hummus

This Chocolate SunButter Hummus is as versatile in presentation as it is in flavor.

Serve it as a decadent dip with fresh fruit like strawberries, banana slices, or apple wedges, or pair it with gluten-free crackers, pretzels, or rice cakes for a sweet-and-salty treat.

You can also spread it on toast or use it as a frosting for baked goods.

For extra texture and flair, top it with vegan chocolate chips, toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of additional Chocolate SunButter.

To store, keep your hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days; give it a quick stir before serving to bring back its creamy consistency.

For longer storage, you can freeze it in small portions for up to one month, thawing in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
