I know, dessert hummus may not sound exciting—but stay with me. In this recipe, we’re using beans to make up the bulk of our dip, then adding dates and vanilla to give it that caramel goodness.
Serve it with caramel dip, in-season fresh fruit and gluten-free bread or cookies for a fun dessert tray.
Add the water, dates, and channa dal to your Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 18 minutes.
Release the pressure manually.
Add the vanilla. Use either a blender or an immersion blender to puree all the ingredients. If you are using a blender you may need to add some nondairy milk if the mixture is too thick to blend well.
Taste and add some salt (if using) to bring out the sweet taste a bit more.
If it’s not sweet enough, add a little of your favorite sweetener until it’s just the way you like it.
Notes
Make in a 3-quart or 6-quart (3-L or 6-L) Instant Pot.
