# What You'll Need:

→ Hummus Base

01 - 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 3 tbsp creamy nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
03 - 3 tbsp pure maple syrup

→ Serving Accompaniments

08 - 3 crisp apples (such as Fuji or Gala), cored and sliced

# How to Make It:

01 - In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure even texture.
02 - With the food processor running, add the milk one tablespoon at a time until the mixture reaches a creamy, dip-able consistency suitable for serving.
03 - Transfer the hummus to a mixing bowl and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
04 - Core the crisp apples and slice them into wedges. Arrange the apple slices neatly on a serving platter.
05 - Scoop the cookie dough hummus into a serving bowl, garnishing with a few extra chocolate chips if desired. Serve immediately alongside the apple slices for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like cookie dough without any of the guilt or raw egg concerns.
  • Takes just 10 minutes to throw together, making it perfect for unexpected guests or last-minute cravings.
  • Naturally protein-rich from chickpeas, so it actually keeps you satisfied, not just sugar-buzzed.
02 -
  • Don't over-blend once the chocolate chips are added or you'll end up with a grayish dip that tastes muddy; the chips need to stay intact.
  • The texture will firm up slightly as the hummus sits, so make it just a hair looser than you think you want and let it adjust in the fridge.
03 -
  • Use a rubber spatula for folding in the chips—metal spoons break them apart and metal blades are just asking for trouble.
  • If your hummus tastes slightly too sweet, a pinch more salt will balance it perfectly; don't add more nut butter or you'll lose the fluffy texture.
