Snickerdoodle Hummus Recipe FAQs
Do apples and hummus go together?
Yes! Apples pair well with both dessert and savory hummus! Crisp, sweet apple slices complement the richness and creaminess of the chickpea dip.
What is dessert hummus made of?
It’s made with chickpeas, nut butter, cinnamon, maple syrup, and sugar. Some recipes may also include unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate chips, so the result is more of a brownie batter chocolate hummus.
How to make dessert hummus extra creamy?
Add canned, full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture! Black beans also make a creamier hummus compared to chickpeas.
What nut butter to use for snickerdoodle hummus?
We love cashew butter for snickerdoodle hummus, but peanut butter will be as tasty. It’ll be like a peanut butter snickerdoodle dip!
Can you freeze dessert hummus?
Yes! Transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving. If the consistency is too thick for dipping, blend the snickerdoodle hummus with your choice of non-dairy milk.
