Dark Chocolate Hummus and Strawberries

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Updated June 2024 — This creamy Chocolate Hummus with fresh strawberries is unbelievably delicious spread over warm naan or pita bread. The moment I spotted chocolate hummus at the grocery store, I knew I had to recreate it at home. Store-bought hummus often has a preservative taste, which is why homemade versions always win for me. So I upgraded the recipe with homemade nut butter and probiotic yogurt for an ultra-rich, velvety texture that tastes more like decadent chocolate pudding than traditional hummus.

Once it was ready, I started dipping strawberries and bananas into it — absolutely irresistible. It’s also dangerously good straight from the spoon and has a flavor similar to a Reese’s peanut butter cup. I later tried it on pita and naan bread, and honestly, both tasted incredible. This sweet chocolate dip also pairs perfectly with pretzel chips, pita chips, and graham crackers for an easy snack or dessert platter.

SIS Tip - Simple is Smart for Chocolate Hummus

For a thick, creamy, and spreadable chocolate hummus, blend in probiotic yogurt for extra richness and texture. If you prefer a smoother, dip-style consistency, add a non-dairy milk such as almond milk or coconut milk. Start with 1/2 cup, then adjust gradually until you reach your desired consistency.

Neuro Nutrition of Strawberries

Strawberries are loaded with nutrients that support both brain and overall wellness. These bright red berries contain powerful antioxidants and plant compounds that help defend brain cells against oxidative stress caused by harmful free radicals. Reducing oxidative stress may help support long-term cognitive health and mental performance. They are also rich in vitamin C, an important nutrient involved in the production of neurotransmitters that help brain cells communicate effectively. Regularly eating strawberries may help improve focus, support memory, and promote better cognitive function naturally.

How Do I Make Strawberries and Chocolate Hummus on Naan or Pita Bred?

Prepare the Chocolate Hummus

Add the chickpeas, cocoa powder, yogurt, maple syrup, and nut butter to a high-speed blender such as a Blendtec. Blend until the mixture becomes rich, creamy, and completely smooth.

For a thinner texture, slowly add non-dairy milk until the chocolate hummus reaches your preferred spreadable or dip-ready consistency.

Spread the chocolate hummus evenly over pita or naan bread. Slice fresh strawberries using an egg slicer, then arrange them on top and finish with a fresh mint garnish.

Cut each flatbread into 8 triangles for easy serving.

You can also enjoy the chocolate hummus as a sweet dip. Thin it slightly with extra non-dairy milk and serve with fresh fruit, pita chips, pretzels, or graham crackers.
