Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Chickpeas - Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas or white beans thoroughly. This step is crucial to remove any excess sodium and improve the flavor.
  2. Step 2: Blend the Base - In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas, salt, baking soda, vanilla extract, and nut butter. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Adjust Consistency - If the mixture is too thick, gradually add in your choice of milk. Blend until you achieve your desired consistency. The dip should be smooth but still thick enough to hold its shape.
  4. Step 4: Sweeten to Taste - Add your sweetener of choice to the mixture. Start with a small amount, blend, and taste. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
  5. Step 5: Fold in the Goodness - Gently fold in the chocolate chips and the thickening agent (quick oats, almond flour, or flax meal) until well combined. This will enhance the texture of your dip.
  6. Step 6: Chill and Serve - Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • If the dip thickens in the fridge, stir in a little milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • This dip is best served chilled and pairs well with apple slices or pretzels.
