Notes
Yield: ~1 1/2 cups (12 servings). Serving Size: 2 Tablespoons.
Chickpeas: Removing the chickpea skins will make the hummus extra smooth and dessert-like.
Texture: If you’re having trouble getting it smooth, try blending with an immersion blender, adding milk as needed.
*Espresso powder won’t make it taste like coffee, it just deepens the chocolate flavor.
Storing Instructions: Keep leftover hummus in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
