# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It satisfies a cookie dough craving without raw eggs or a guilty conscience afterward.
  • The chickpeas give it a creamy, almost mousse-like texture that feels indulgent but keeps you fueled.
  • You can make it in under ten minutes with pantry staples you probably already have.
02 -
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly or the dip will taste metallic and weird.
  • Use melted coconut oil, not solid, or it will seize up and create grainy lumps in the blend.
  • Blend longer than you think you need to. The extra minute makes the difference between gritty and luxurious.
03 -
  • Taste the chickpeas before you blend them. If they taste off or metallic, rinse them again under cold water.
  • Let the food processor run for a full two minutes after everything looks smooth. That extra time makes it silky instead of grainy.
  • If the dip is too thick, add almond milk one teaspoon at a time until it reaches your perfect consistency.
