Ingredients And Substitutions

Ground cinnamon and vanilla extract – They bring all of this sweet treat’s flavors together but feel free to play around with add-ins. For example, try unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate dessert hummus!
Pure maple syrup – To adjust the sweetness of the sweet hummus. Feel free to use any sweetener of choice. Agave is another wholesome option.
Rolled oats – Oats also help thicken this vegan cookie dough dessert hummus.
Candy coated chocolates –This vegan sweet hummus is studded with candies just like monster cookies with M&Ms! You can also use mini chocolate chips.
Graham crackers – The dippers are up to you, but you can totally just enjoy this cookie batter dip with a spoon (no judgment here.)
Tips For Making This Recipe
Peel Your Chickpeas
Don’t skip peeling your chickpeas for the smoothest monster cookie hummus! The trick is to lay the drained and rinsed chickpeas out onto a towel to air-dry, place another towel on top, then gently rub the towel over the chickpeas to remove their skins.
Delicious Serving Ideas
There are plenty of ways to enjoy this sweet hummus. Serve it as a dip for apple slices, pretzel sticks, vegan cookies, or tortilla chips in your DIY snack board, roll the creamy hummus up in a tortilla, or add it on top of whole wheat pancakes.
Storage Tips
You can store your leftover dessert hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if it’ll last that long.) We haven’t tried freezing it.
Vegan Dessert Hummus Recipe FAQs
What is dessert hummus?
Dessert hummus is a sweet dip made from chickpeas, just like a traditional savory hummus. Because of its consistency, dessert hummus is like a cookie dough you can dip in!
Does dessert hummus taste like chickpeas?
No. Chickpeas or garbanzo beans have a mild flavor, so they only serve as the creamy base of this cookie dough dip.
Can I use dried chickpeas instead of canned for this sweet hummus recipe?
Yes, but you’ll still need to cook dried chickpeas. Cook them until mushy for the perfect dessert hummus consistency.
What beans can you use instead of chickpeas for cookie dough dessert hummus?
Other white beans like navy beans can stand in for chickpeas in dessert hummus. You can even use black beans for a brownie batter-inspired sweet hummus!
How to fix my homemade hummus texture?
If your monster cookie dessert dip feels gritty, add in a little bit of almond milk. You can also experiment with a bit of coconut oil for a smoother texture.
