This Chocolate Peanut Butter Dessert Hummus is so easy to make and absolutely delicious! 7 simple ingredients and 5 minutes are all you need to make this healthy chocolate peanut butter dream.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Hummus

The people in my life who know me best would tell you I can be pretty stubborn. I view rules as mere suggestions. Where am I going with all this? I just made Chocolate Peanut Butter Hummus!

I know what you’re thinking. “Is dessert hummus any good?” No. It’s freaking great! You will never look at hummus the same way ever again. Guaranteed!

Are you ready? Let’s make it!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Hummus

Hummus is one of my favorite foods. I use it as a condiment on sandwiches, eat it with veggies and pita, and even make salad dressings with it sometimes. But, one thing I had never done is thought of hummus as dessert.

After hearing of the idea I decided to take two of my guilty pleasures, chocolate, and peanut butter, and see what might happen. O…M…G! And, the best part? It’s stupid simple! A little peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, a little vanilla and you’ve got something incredibly delicious.

As crazy as it might sound.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You are going to be amazed at the taste of this recipe. You’ll find it hard to believe that chickpeas are in this wonderful spread. It’s like a peanut butter cup was turned into hummus. For realzzzzz.

Here is everything you’ll need:

  • 1 15-ounce can low-sodium or no salt added chickpeas
  • ¼ cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tbsp. water
  • Pinch of salt
  • Non-dairy chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Pro Tip: Use a food processor. It works best. You can use a high speed blender but you will possibly have to add more water. And, it might create a less thicker texture.

    I’m certainly putting this on my Super Bowl menu. Though I’m not a fan of the Patriots, I love the fact that Tom Brady is an elite athlete at his age especially as I’m nearing 40…Can’t wait to see what you serve on your Super Bowl menu.

      Great to hear and I hope you enjoy it. I’ll be putting out two or three things to munch on during the Super Bowl. Be on the lookout! Peace.

      Thank YOU, Shane!!! WOWZA!!!! WHOOOHOO, did this ever knock it outa’ the park!!!! This SO beats any dessert hummus I’ve ever bought! Hope I don’t gain a ton. Next time, I might try it with half peanut butter and half peanut butter powder, and half maple syrup & half stevia, just to cut the calories, just for sometimes…maybe. Thanks again! You ROCK!

    This is wonderful with sliced apples and bananas. My carnivore spouse wouldn’t try it since it was made from beans. More for me. This will be a party staple. Thank you.

    This was amazing! I made it today, not expecting much. But wow! It is delicious! I’m going to take it to a brunch I need to go to tomorrow morning. I’m kinda sad about that, because it will be all gone. But it will be easy to whip up another batch for satisfying and yummy afternoon snacks this week! Thanks!!!!

    Just made this today, it’s awesome! Decadent and healthy at the same time which is always a good combo. I could have just eaten it right off the spoon but thought I better be good and eat it with fruit; I tried apples and pears, amazing!

    This recipe was a keeper from the very first batch–and I’ve made dozens of batches since that one. If there is almond butter in the house, I use that instead of peanut butter and it becomes even more elegant. This is so easy to put together and is perfect either as a dessert or for taming post-workout hunger. Many thanks for this one, Shane

    Since it’s just me, (hubby doesn’t like hummus) I had some single-serve organic hummus cups from Costco. They’re a little over 2 oz in size. Used 1T cocoa powder, 1T maple syrup, 1T peanut butter powder, 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste, and added enough water to desired consistency. DELICIOUS … and just the perfect amount for one person!

    This is absolutely delicious! I keep some in my fridge all the time. I love it on apples for an afternoon snack. I also just eat a spoonful when I have a craving for something chocolate. This is one of the best WFPB recipes I have ever tried—and the easiest! Thanks Shane.

    It’s funny that I came across this recipe this week because just last week I had purchased an overpriced and probably too sugar-laden chocolate hummus from the grocery store which my family loved. I just whipped up your version and we will have it tonight. I made “regular” hummus and I too don’t know why I didn’t think to try adding chocolate myself. Thanks for the recipe.
