Healthy Chocolate Chickpea Roll Recipe

Begin by soaking the dried apricots in warm water for approximately 15 minutes. This will make the apricots soft and easier to blend.

In a food processor, pulse the roasted peanuts or your choice of nuts until they are finely chopped. Be careful not to turn them into butter; you want some texture.

Next, combine the soaked apricots and cooked chickpeas in the same food processor. Blend until the mixture is well combined. It's okay if there are still small chunks of chickpeas, as they provide a nice texture.

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate using a double boiler method. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set it over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before adding to the mixture.

In a mixing bowl, add the blended chickpeas and apricots mixture, chopped nuts, and melted chocolate. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well mixed and evenly coated with chocolate.

Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Spoon the mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap it tightly in the plastic and refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours until firm.

Once set, remove the roll from the refrigerator and slice it into pieces. For an extra touch, you can dust the slices with cocoa powder before serving.

Enjoy your delightful and healthy chocolate chickpea roll as a nutritious snack or a fun dessert option!
