Ingredients for the Chickpea and Cocoa Spread
- 1 cup cooked, boiled chickpeas (or canned)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup soy milk
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable margarine
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Preparation of Chickpea and Cocoa Spread
You can prepare the Chickpea and Cocoa Spread either with dry chickpeas previously soaked and then cooked and drained.
But even quicker with canned chickpeas, making sure to drain and rinse them under cold running water until the water runs clear.
Don’t throw away the chickpea liquid as you can make aquafaba for a vegan and waste-free kitchen.
Place all the ingredients in the cup of an immersion blender, or in the jar of your blender or food processor.
Blend everything until you have a smooth and creamy spread; the more you blend, the smoother it will become.
If your spread (Nutella-like) is too thick, you can add 1 tablespoon of plant-based beverage.
Taste it and if you prefer it sweeter, you can add maple syrup.
Transfer it to a perfectly clean glass jar, cover with a lid, and store in the refrigerator.
The chickpea and cocoa spread can be stored for up to 1 week and is also great for filling homemade brioche.
Variations of Chickpea and Cocoa Spread
