Add the chickpeas, cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl of a food processor.
Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, and adding reserved chickpea liquid a tablespoon at a time to thin out the hummus.
Taste and add additional pure maple syrup, if desired, and process again.
Serve right away with fresh fruit, pretzels, graham crackers, etc., or cover and refrigerate for later.
Notes
I used 3 tablespoons of the reserved chickpea liquid (aquafaba) to thin the hummus. If you're not sure if the hummus is smooth enough, keep processing it for another minute or two.Leftover hummus can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for 3 to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost the frozen container in the refrigerator overnight, then stir well before serving.This dessert dip pairs well with fresh strawberries, sliced bananas, pineapple chunks, sliced apples, pretzels, graham crackers, rice cakes, and more.
