ABOUT THE RECIPE

If you’ve never tried sweet hummus before, this one’s about to change your life. Imagine the rich, fudgy taste of brownie batter but in a smooth, creamy dip that also happens to be good for you. No refined sugar, no weird additives, just simple ingredients blending into pure chocolatey magic. Whether you’re dipping fruit, spreading it on toast, or eating it straight from the jar (I see you), this is your new go-to for a guilt-free chocolate fix.

How to serve
Swipe it onto warm toast, pair it with strawberries, banana slices, or apple wedges, or go all in and dunk some pretzels for that sweet-salty combo. Feeling extra? Stir it into oatmeal, drizzle it over pancakes, or layer it in a yogurt parfait for a next-level treat.

How to store
Store your chocolate hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, but let’s be real, it won’t last that long. If it thickens up, just stir in a splash of plant milk to bring back that creamy goodness. Freezing? Not recommended, it’s best fresh!

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

If you’ve ever wished your food had that little extra something, this crunchy, garlicky, nutty magic – this is the answer. Inspired by the iconic everything bagel topping, this homemade blend is an absolute game-changer. Sprinkle it on avo toast, eggs, cottage cheese, or even a basic buttered bread slice – it instantly upgrades anything. And the best part? You can whip it up in minutes with pantry staples.

How to serve
This seasoning is the ultimate finishing touch for pretty much everything. Stir it into cream cheese for an instant dip, sprinkle it over popcorn for a salty-savory snack, or coat roasted veggies in olive oil and this mix before baking for an unreal crunch. It’s also a next-level game-changer for grilled cheese, scrambled eggs, and even fried rice.

How to store
Keep your seasoning blend fresh by storing it in an airtight jar in a cool, dry spot. It stays crunchy and flavorful for up to six months (if you don’t use it all before then). A quick shake before each use keeps the flavors evenly distributed.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Golden, crispy, and packed with bold flavors!! These herby chickpea bites are everything you want in a falafel, minus the frying. They’re light but satisfyingly crunchy, loaded with garlic, cumin, and fresh herbs for that perfect balance of flavor. Whether you stuff them in a warm pita, toss them over a fresh salad, or dip them in creamy tahini sauce, they’re the kind of meal that feels both nourishing and indulgent. And the best part? They’re baked, not fried, so you get all the crunch without the extra oil.

How to serve
These little crispy gems are beyond versatile! Tuck them into warm pita with fresh veggies and a drizzle of tahini for a classic falafel wrap. Throw them over a big salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, and a lemony dressing for a light but filling meal. Or just dunk them straight into hummus (no judgment here). Want to level it up? Pair them with roasted veggies, herby yogurt sauce, or even a spicy harissa dip.

How to store
Got leftovers? Pop them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes to keep that crispy magic alive. For long-term storage, freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring them to a bag – just bake straight from frozen when you’re ready!

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Not every recipe turns out as expected, but sometimes the result is even better! This Chocolate Mint Oil was supposed to capture both chocolate and mint flavors, but only the fresh, vibrant mint transferred – and honestly? It’s absolutely delicious. The cocoa nibs didn’t quite make the impact I hoped for, but the minty finish is so versatile and refreshing. Perfect for sweet and savory dishes, this oil still deserves a spot in your kitchen.

How to serve
Drizzle this minty oil over fresh salads for a herby twist or use it to finish a dessert like brownies, ice cream, or fruit salads. It also works as a light drizzle over roasted vegetables, adding a subtle mint freshness to balance the flavors. For an unexpected yet delicious pairing, try it with lamb or feta cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired vibe. Versatile and fresh, it’s a little experiment gone right. For an extravagant dessert with a wow factor, you absolutely have to try this oil on my Vanilla Parfait with Chocolate Soil!

How to store
Store this infused oil in a clean, airtight bottle in the fridge for up to one week.

Chocolate Mint Oil

Author: Kimberly
Total Time: 40 min
Yield: 1 cup / 250 ml 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

blender
medium-sized saucepan
whisk
a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
2 medium-sized bowls
2 fine mesh strainers
oil bottle
ice cubes
coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale

15 grams cocoa nibs
15 grams fresh mint
250 milliliter rapeseed oil

Instructions

Put cocoa nibs and leaves of the mint into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it no coarse pieces are longer visible.
Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the oil simmer with the lid partially on for the next 10 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
At the end of the cooking process, prepare a bowl large enough to fit the medium-sized pot, filled with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine mesh sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.
Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to stop the cooking process. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the first fine mesh sieve to catch the coarse particle.
Then, pour the oil into the second fine mesh sieve, which you before equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
Allow the oil to drip through for about 30 minutes or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
