→ Serving

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

# How to Make It:

01 - In a food processor, combine chickpeas, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until fully smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
02 - Add milk one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until the mixture reaches a creamy, dip-able texture.
03 - Transfer the hummus to a mixing bowl and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute evenly.
04 - Arrange the cored and sliced apples on a serving platter, ready for dipping.
05 - Spoon the cookie dough hummus into a serving bowl, optionally garnish with additional chocolate chips, and serve immediately with apple slices.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like an indulgence but sneaks in real protein and fiber, so you won't feel guilty about reaching for seconds.
  • Zero baking required means you can have it on the table in the time it takes to brew coffee.
  • It's naturally gluten-free and endlessly adaptable depending on what you have on hand.
02 -
  • If your hummus feels too thick, resist the urge to dump in milk all at once—it'll turn soupy fast, so add it in small increments and taste as you go.
  • Don't skip rinsing the canned chickpeas; the starchy liquid will make your dip gluey instead of creamy and light.
03 -
  • Use cold apples straight from the fridge—the contrast between the cool, crisp fruit and the creamy, rich dip is part of what makes this work.
  • If you're serving this at a party, keep the chocolate chips separate and let people sprinkle their own on top, which feels more interactive and lets them control sweetness.
