Snickerdoodle Hummus

This simple but insanely delicious Snickerdoodle Hummus is full of all the cinnamon & cookie dough flavour of Snickerdoodles. Ready in minutes and perfect for dipping with cookies, fruit or pretzels!  

Yes, I am bringing you hummus for dessert again. Following on from my Dessert Chocolate Hummus comes my Snickerdoodle Hummus and it's incredible! 

OMG this hummus is the bomb. Like seriously, ridiculously yummy.

You will find ingredients like chickpeas, coconut sugar, vanilla and lots of cinnamon. All combined, it ends up tasting kind of like cinnamon infused, slightly caramel-y cookie dough/cake batter. So hard to describe. I guess you just need to get it made for yourself to see exactly what I mean!

How to make Snickerdoodle Hummus

FOR INGREDIENTS & FULL INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE SEE THE RECIPE CARD AT THE END OF THIS POST

This Snickerdoodle Hummus can be whipped up in minutes using canned or freshly cooked chickpeas. It's so easy.

Here's how:

Step 1: Blend up all of the ingredients, using only a little of the coconut milk to start.

Step 2: Once it's smooth, check the consistency and add more coconut milk as needed to get the consistency you are happy with. 

What to dip in dessert hummus

To serve, heap it into a bowl and if you are feeling fancy, sprinkle on some chopped nuts (I like buttery pecans). I added a few rivulets of date syrup to make it look pretty in my pictures. You could use maple syrup instead, but it doesn't need either. What it does need though are lots of tasty dippers!

All in the name of recipe testing, I tried a multitude of different dessert hummus dippers, and with this Snickerdoodle Hummus strawberries come out at the tippy top. There is just something about their sweet juiciness that works so well with it. The compliment each other unbelievably well.

As well as strawberries try serving it with:

• pretzels
• cookies
• apple slices
• banana
• pita chips
• rice cakes
• crackers

You could also try using it as frosting! I think it would work really well on cupcakes.

This Snickerdoodle Hummus would be perfect for serving at parties and gatherings, game day, or pot lucks. It's also just perfect for indulging in by yourself in front of a movie on a Saturday night.

• Add a little more coconut milk gradually to get the desired thickness. I used the full ⅓ cup as I like mine a looser but you can add as much or as little as you like.  It will firm up slightly in the fridge so bear that in mind.

NOTES

Cream of tartar is optional. It gives that distinctive Snickerdoodle tang. If you have some use it, but if you don't, you don't need to buy it especially, unless you want to use it up by making my Perfect Vegan Snickerdoodles which call for it too!  

Store in a sealed container in the fridge. Will keep for up to a week. 

It can be frozen. Once defrosted, it might thicken up a bit so just loosen it by adding a drop of coconut milk or water and stirring well.
