    Snickerdoodle Hummus? Yes, hummus for dessert is a thing! Remember my Dessert Chocolate Hummus?

    With our regular hummus staple that is chickpeas, plus a handful of dessert type additions like cinnamon, coconut milk, sugar and vanilla, we're taking all the flavours of snickerdoodle cookies and turning them into a creamy, dippable, snickerdoodle dessert hummus that tastes like cookie dough crossed with cake batter. It's so good!

    This Snickerdoodle Hummus is perfect for serving at parties and gatherings, game day, or pot lucks. It's also just perfect for snacking on by yourself in front of a movie at the weekend or for the kids to enjoy as an after school snack.

    Ingredients

    Just basic store cupboard ingredients are needed:

    snickerdoodle hummus ingredients as per the written ingredient list

    And a few ingredient notes for you:

    • Chickpeas - Use canned chickpeas or chickpeas you've cooked from dry at home.
    • Sugar - You can use any type of sugar here. Obviously the flavour changes if you use brown or coconut sugar as opposed to cane sugar but it's delicious whatever you use.
    • Coconut milk - Canned coconut milk makes this hummus really rich and creamy. You can use any other plant milk instead though if you prefer.
    • Nut/seed butter - This adds more flavour, healthy fats and creaminess. Any nut or seed butter is fine to use. The flavour is more cookie-dough like when you use cashew butter or almond butter though. Stick to seed butter to keep this dessert hummus recipe nut-free.

    How to make Snickerdoodle Hummus

    (For detailed measurements and instructions, see the printable recipe card).

    Snickerdoodle Hummus is super easy to make and can be whipped up in minutes. Here's how:

    1. Add everything to a food processor and blend up until smooth.
    2. Check the consistency and sweetness and adjust with a little more sugar or coconut milk as needed.

    Serving Suggestions

    To serve Snickerdoodle Hummus simply heap it into a bowl and if you're feeling fancy, sprinkle on some chopped nuts (I like buttery pecans) and a drizzle of date or maple syrup.

    If you are wondering what to eat with snickerdoodle hummus or any other dessert hummus recipe, here are some ideas:

    • fresh strawberries
    • pretzels
    • graham crackers or any other cookie
    • digestive biscuits
    • apple slices
    • banana
    • pita chips
    • rice cakes
    • crackers
    • saltine crackers

    Storing leftovers

    Store leftover Snickerdoodle Hummus in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

      OMG. I've never enjoyed cleaning out the food processor more. :) This is amazing. And I even used navy beans instead. Cuz that's what I had. :)

      OMG this is delicious! What a great, tasty and healthy dessert to serve at parties or wherever. My husband was a bit doubtful when I told him what I was making, but the first taste made him a believer. I am finding myself imagining other ways to use this --- frosting between cookies maybe?

        I'm glad you both enjoyed it Colleen. There are so many ways you could use it. Cookies would be perfect. You could probably frost a cake or cupcakes with it too!

      Can you use something besides coconut? I am allergic to coconut but would love to try this! :)

        You could. Coconut milk makes it extra rich, but you could easily replace it with any creamy plant-based milk. You might need a little less to get the right consistency so add it gradually. And you can switch the coconut sugar for brown sugar. Hope you enjoy it!
