Dessert Hummus consists of the base of a regular hummus, which is chickpeas, but instead of your regular seasonings garlic and salt and pepper, you replace it with dessert-associated ingredients instead.
Dessert Hummus can be a healthier alternative to icing or spreads on toasts, some of them are even vegan. So it definitely doesn’t leave anyone, out on the fun. It sounds gross but like fries and ice-cream, it actually works.
