Ingredients

400 g can chickpeas rinsed and drained
3 tablespoon olive oil or another healthy oil
4 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
4 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
¼ teaspoon salt
50 ml water

Instructions

Add the water, olive oil and honey to the blender. Tip in the drained chickpeas, cocoa and salt.
Blitz until smooth. Scrape down the blender once or twice if necessary. You might need to add extra water to get the desired consistency - make sure to add only a little at a time!

Notes

If you want to use home-cooked chickpeas, 240g is the equivalent weight of a drained can of chickpeas
For an even richer fudgy chickpea chocolate spread, include a tablespoon of nut butter. Peanut butter works well as does almond butter. If you've got some hazelnut butter, you can make healthy Nutella! For a nut-free version, try sunflower seed butter or tahini (sesame seed paste)
Add other flavourings such as a teaspoon of vanilla extract or cinnamon if liked
You can use either a food processor, blender or immersion blender to make this chocolate hummus recipe
