Happy Valentine’s Day! This year I have not one but TWO Valentines, my husband and the cutest little red-head! I am so lucky!! Instead of going out this year, we decided to stay in, cuddle and have some yummy treats!
So I am assuming that most of you have tried the typical tahini style hummus. But have you tried dessert hummus yet? It has become more and more popular lately; from cookie dough hummus, to chocolate hummus, to even cake batter hummus!
Some of you may see this recipe and think grosss! but believe me you are missing out. I promise you that if you try this recipe, your mind will be blown! It is creamy and delicious and the perfect pairing with fruit or graham crackers.
The Recipe
This recipe is so simple and only takes a couple minutes to make!
You will need a food processor
What the heck is aquafaba?
Aquafaba is the liquid in a can of chickpeas. This liquid (while containing no protein as an egg does) can be whipped up into a meringue just as you would with egg whites. It makes a great vegan egg substitute in baking and is great for those with an egg allergy.
By adding aquafaba in this recipe, you are adding a stabilizer, making it nice and creamy.
