at my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary party my sister in law brought a great dip, she said it was cookie dough dip...hmmmm then after I tried it, she told me it was hummus!! It was amazing! she make with chickpeas, chocolate and butterscotch chips, sugar and peanut butter. My mom was not a believer that beans could be a dessert, so I did some experimenting. My mom does not like peanut butter so I thought I would try to make the dip to taste like her brownies, I used:
1 can Great Northern beans (wash them really well)
1 1/3 cup Nutella
1/2 cup syrup (I think I might use another low calorie sweetener next time)
1/2 bag chocolate chips
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp almond
Put all ingredients in a food processer and mix until smooth.
I kept tasting mine, and adjusted accordingly. Its all a matter of your own taste.
These measurements are not exact since I experiment with cooking (aka don't like to measure). I used 1/4 cup peanut butter and 2 cup nutella, but next time I won't use peanut butter at all. I think any sweetener would work, even sugar.
I served the dip with sliced apples and grahmn crackers (sister in laws idea).
Thanks alanna for the incredible idea. This is a great way to get more protein into my 18 month old!
