Hummus has forever been a protein-rich dip for your veggies and chips, a spread on your greek wraps and much more. It’s a very simple blend of chickpeas, oils, and seasoning to make it perfect. So, what exactly is dessert hummus? All the same things!

We love dessert hummus! This sweet protein-packed treat is gracing the aisles of grocery stores, but with a hefty price tag! Next time you’re there, put it back on the shelf and grab a few inexpensive ingredients to make it at home instead. We love the chocolate version, but there’s perhaps no better kind than funfetti cake batter!
