Sweet dessert hummus with caramel dulce de leche cheesecake flavor, oh my!
I honestly think that sweet dessert hummus suppose to be a new trend now! It is healthy, nutritious, perfect for dipping all kind of fruit and berries.
My favorite are sliced apples! Crunchy sweet pieces of thinly sliced apple dipped in caramel cheesecake hummus, yum!
Dessert hummus
Well, dessert hummus it a little bit different from its classic version. You will not see any tahini or olive oil here that for sure. Variations are endless! But whats important, is that dessert hummus suppose to be, hm, sweet 🙂 You can sweeten it up with
- maple syrup
- agave syrup
- raw honey
- coconut sugar
- even dates and so much more
Classic caramel or dulce de leche?
It absolutely will depend on your personal preference. But if you ask me, i will choose dulce de leche. Its so easy to make it at home- here you can find recipes for homemade dulce de leche in Slowcooker, Instant Pot or on the stove from my blogger friends.
When i was a kid i used to just stick a can of condensed milk in a pot of water and slowly boil it until done (was it a few hours? it felt forever!)
They also sell dulce de leche in cans in supermarkets( out local Walmart and Safemart has it). Great option too!
I don’t blame you if you like store bought caramel ( you know, sold in ice cream frozen isles)- just replace it using equal amount in the recipe. But, well, the taste will not be the same.
Fan of traditional hummus? Try to make it with this homemade tahini paste!

Okay, first of all: dessert hummus? Too good to be true. And then it's caramel cheesecake flavored on top of that?! Girl, you're speaking my language.
