I'm a huge fan of chocolate and desserts in general, so I'm constantly on the lookout for healthy AND tasty alternatives to satisfy my sweet tooth. This sweet hummus recipe does the trick perfectly! The hardest part? Resisting the spoonfuls!

Combine all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Add a little water if necessary.
Garnish with nuts, coconut flakes, cocoa nibs or, like me, with the Pause Moka mix from Patience Fruit et co, which further accentuates the chocolate and hazelnut flavors with a little hint of coffee as a bonus!
