Treat your taste buds to this incredibly smooth, creamy, and flavorful homemade hummus recipe! Featuring simple, fresh ingredients, like chickpeas, lemon, garlic, and tahini, hummus is perfect for dipping, spreading, or enjoying by the spoonful.
If you’re using canned chickpeas, drain them and save the liquid (aquafaba). If you’re preparing chickpeas from scratch, cook them in a pressure cooker. Once they are done, reserve some of the liquid.
For an extra creamy hummus, peel the chickpeas. The skins should slip off quite easily. Don’t worry about being perfect here.
Add the cooked chickpeas, aquafaba, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, paprika, cumin, and coriander to a food processor.
Blend the mixture for 2-3 minutes, or until it’s well combined. While the food processor is running, slowly add the olive oil and ice cubes.
Continue blending the hummus for another 2-3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until it reaches a creamy consistency.
