Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Dessert Hummus
Dessert hummus has to be the grossest, weirdest dessert name I’ve ever heard. However, it’s the name people use to describe this creamy, rich, dessert dip.
Despite the name, even my kids love it. It’s delicious, simple, budget-friendly, and doesn’t leave us with an uncontrollable sugar-high.
If you’re looking for an easy, clean eating, budget-friendly dessert Chocolate Dessert Hummus is it.

Apple shots were taken by my dear friend, Emily, who approves of this recipe.
What to Eat with Dessert Hummus
Because this is hummus, you gotta dip food into it. We like pretzels, graham crackers, and little cookies – look for (or make!) cleaner varieties if you can. We like Coconut Cashew Crisp cookies from Aldi and their gluten-free pretzels. You can also dip fruit!
Try these with Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Dessert Hummus:
- Apple slices
- Bananas
- Pretzels
- Cookies
- Graham crackers
But honestly, in our house, we usually eat it in a bowl with a spoon.

Do You Need a Food Processor For This Recipe?
I despise extra appliances, so it took me a long time to decide if I needed a food processor. I got one for $5 at a yard sale when we were dealing with severe dairy and gluten sensitivities. Many of the budget-friendly, kid-friendly recipes online used a food processor, and my blender didn’t cut it.
A food processor handles thick, creamy recipes that a regular blender can’t. However, if you have a high-powered blender, like Vitamix or Blendtec, you should be fine to make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Dessert Hummus.
Now, this little food processor is one of my favorite appliances.
My $5, unbranded, yard sale food processor lasted nearly 6 years, so I don’t think you need an expensive brand to make great food. For now, my Black and Decker works great.
A short list of what I make with a food processor:
- Pie Crust
- Homemade Lara Bars
- Oat Flour
- 1-ingredient Banana Ice Cream
- Creamy Chocolate Dessert Hummus
- These Healthier Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
- 5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Muffins
- Nut Butter
Plus a TON of savory dishes like hummus, baba ganoush (my favorite recipe is in this cookbook) and salsa. It also helps me shred cabbage, slice peppers and onions, and shred zucchini in seconds.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Dessert "Hummus"
High in protein, fiber, and flavor, dessert hummus features whole, simple ingredients, and real food. It’s gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, vegan, naturally-sweetened, and sun butter makes it nut-free. Oh, and it takes about 5 minutes to toss into the food processor and blend.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups cooked white beans or chick peas, (canned or home cooked)
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey, (see tips for more variations)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (if using home cooked beans and/or salt-free peanut butter)
- 2-4 tbsp milk, (optional) (dairy-free works!)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, to taste, (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except milk and chocolate chips in a food processor and puree until very smooth (2-3 minutes, depending on how powerful your machine is). Thin with milk if necessary to reach desired consistency.
- Stir in chocolate chips and eat with a spoon, or serve with chopped fruit and graham crackers.
Notes
- Sweetener - You can use 2/3 cup brown or white sugar.
- Don’t like peanut butter? Substitute peanut butter for a milder nut butter, like cashew or almond.
- Nut-free? Use sun butter or desired substitute.
- Chocolate chips - If you’re dairy-free, I like Enjoy Life chocolate chips (affiliate link). FRUGAL TIP: Try the Moser Roth dark chocolate from Aldi and just break it into chunks!
- Chocoholic? Add a few tbsp of cocoa powder to the mix, then blend in thoroughly.
