Fudgy Chocolate Dessert Hummus
Someone was pitching dessert hummus the other night when I was watching Shark Tank. Flavours such as brownie batter, choc-o-mint, vanilla bean, snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookie batter got my interest! Wow; I didn’t even know dessert hummus existed! Hubs and I are huge consumers of regular hummus so dessert hummus sounded like something I have to try.
Make it Home Made
All the sharks were raving about it, so the next day I went online to find it, only to discover that it’s not even available for sale in Canada. Since we can’t even get the dessert hummus on Shark Tank; I decided to whip some up at home!
I just started a new diet to lose some weight. But let’s face it, who’s going to stick to a diet unless there’s tasty snacks, right?
Why did I chose to make a dark chocolate dessert hummus? It reminds me of fudgy brownie batter! This dessert hummus is a great accompaniment to my daily snack; fresh green granny smith apples!
Try pretzels or anything you would normally put a chocolate spread on If you’re not watching your weight. However, fruit is my preference.
You can use apples or strawberries to dip if you’re looking for a healthy option. An apple slicer make quick work of cutting it up! And you know what they say about an apple a day .
