- 3 tablespoon olive oil or another healthy oil

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 50 ml water
Instructions

- 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
