- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Blend chickpeas and wet ingredients: In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas, avocado oil, maple syrup, and tahini. Blend for one to two minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add cocoa and flavorings: Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and flaky sea salt to the processor. Blend again until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
