Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 15oz can chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons liquid from the can
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Process Chickpeas: Add the chickpeas and 2 tablespoons of the chickpea liquid into a food processor. This helps to blend everything smoothly and incorporate the natural starches from the chickpeas.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the chickpeas and liquid until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps left behind.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the creamy peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Continue to blend until fully combined and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt into the mixture. Blend again until all ingredients are evenly mixed, creating a rich and chocolatey dip base.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips: Remove the blade from the food processor and gently fold in the chocolate chips by hand to maintain their shape and texture.
Notes
- For a smoother dip, ensure chickpeas are well drained except for 2 tablespoons of the liquid.
- Substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar according to taste.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature with fruit, graham crackers, or pretzels for dipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
