Question:

Ohhh yummy!chocolate hummus frosting..Please share recipe.?

— Andrea Mayo

Answer:

You know, it's the easiest recipe in the world you. So let me say this when I may come this. I take the skin off the garbanzo beans not one by one with tweezers, you know, but what I do is I put them in a Turkish towel small kitchen towel and I make a little Satchel out of it and shake shake shake shake shake and about 90% of the skin will come off and While the skin is good for you. If you're making a dessert hummus, you want it to be as smooth as it can be because people eat with their eyes first, so you essentially just make a hummus. And sometimes I'll add a little avocado and it just add a little creaminess so that it gets the real texture of an icing. I would suggest for you to to play with something like this and develop a recipe that you like. I always put cinnamon in it. I always put a drop of vanilla in it and I use a really good cocoa powder to help enhance the flavor. Some people will use melted cocoa nibs. It's all matter of of what you say. And the other thing is that you know cooking is so much fun. And I will make something and people will say oh, what's the recipe? And I will say to them. Use your instincts. What do you think would make this feel and taste delicious that you would like it and it'll be like oh and that before so I think we all have recipe that one day say, oh, I think I'm going to try this. So and that's how this this out. The hummus icing recipe happens like years and years ago. I was like going somewhere and I thought oh, I can't take it. I'm naked cake just so-and-so's house and everyone ate it. Nobody asked any questions. I think I had some humble walnuts on top with some miniature chocolate chips and people were like, oh my God, this is the best cake.
