SUBSCRIBE BY EMAILHoney-Mango Dessert Hummus isn’t as strange as it sounds! Have you ever had “dessert hummus,” or a sweet hummus? If you haven’t, you should definitely give it a try. This hummus is tasty, and what a healthy treat it makes! I hope you’ll give it a try.
I was at an event where “dessert hummus” was served. I had never heard of a sweet hummus before, but it was really good. Several different flavors were passed around and I remember thinking that I had to try to make it myself.
Dessert hummus, or hummus that’s sweet and not savory, crossed my mind several times since that event, but it wasn’t until recently that I did anything about it. Now we can celebrate with Honey-Mango Dessert Hummus!
This hummus is perfect to serve as a healthy dessert, but it’s not so sweet that you couldn’t serve it as an afternoon snack. I baked up some pita chips and sliced up some apples to serve with my Honey-Mango Dessert Hummus. Perfect!
For another dish to dip into that includes mango, try my Blueberry-Mango Salsa. It’s so unique and scrumptious!
If you know me, you know I live for garlic. Anything I can add it to, bam! There is it! I never thought I’d pass up the opportunity to toss in as many garlic cloves as possible when I make hummus. Until I made this dessert hummus.
It’s the one time I make hummus when I don’t mind holding off on the garlic. I still use garbanzo beans, and toss in fragrant, ripe mangoes. Then, I swap the tahini for almond butter, the lemon juice for orange juice, the salt and pepper for cinnamon, and voilà — you have a fabulous, fruity treat.
Traditional, savory hummus is a staple in my house. Served up with olives and cheese and pita bread, it makes a great meal that is perfect when you don’t want to cook. I make Spiced Edamame Hummus pretty often. Oddly enough, it doesn’t include garbanzo beans, and neither does my recipe for Roasted Beet Hummus. Both are delicious and really colorful.
There are a bunch of snack-worthy chocolate options out there for sweet hummus, and you know I’ll try to make a chocolate one soon — I’ll keep you posted!
I can’t wait to play around a bit more and see what other dessert hummus options make the cut. For now, I’ll indulge in Honey-Mango Dessert Hummus, and hope you’ll give it a try, too.
