You’ve had plenty of savory hummus in your life, but have you tried the growing trend of dessert hummus? We get it if you’re unsure at first — sweet hummus doesn’t exactly sound like the most satisfying thing to whip up when you’re craving something decadent.
But that’s where you’d be wrong. If you’ve never given dessert hummus a shot, you should. We were admittedly skeptical at first. After all, the foundation of any hummus (both savory and sweet) is chickpeas. Chickpeas! In what world do chickpeas pair well with chocolate or coconut or caramel? This world, friends… this world.
Don’t just take our word for it, though. To help you make up your mind about dessert hummus, we combed the internet for some of the most scrumptious recipes around. Love cookie dough? We’ve got you covered. Can’t get enough of cheesecake? You’re going to want to keep reading. And it goes without saying that in addition to being delicious, dessert hummus is a healthy alternative to high-sugar, high-calorie treats — making it a true win-win.
