DESSERT HUMMUS

Dessert Hummus image

My style of cooking is totally out of the box. This recipe is the sweet culinary equivalent of regular hummus. I'm a perfectionist with fibromyalgia and did everything from scratch. If you don't have a blender you can use a mortar and pestle to make the poppy seed paste, which takes the place of tahini.

Ingredients

2 ½ cups white poppy seeds
2 ½ cups black poppy seeds
1 ½ cups coconut water
2 tablespoons butter, softened, or to taste
2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
2 ½ cups macadamia nuts
¼ cup coconut water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon raw sugar, or to taste
1 sprig mint, leaves removed and stem discarded, or to taste
2 teaspoons poppyseed oil
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, or to taste
1 pinch sea salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground cloves
2 pinches ground cardamom
2 pinches ground nutmeg

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread white and black poppy seeds on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly roasted and fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes.
Transfer poppy seeds to a blender or mortar and pestle and grind into a fine flour. Add 1 1/2 cup coconut water and butter; blend until paste is creamy and has a pourable consistency. Add enough honey to make paste moderately sweet.
Place macadamia nuts, 1/4 cup coconut water, lemon juice, orange juice, ginger, lime juice, olive oil, sugar, mint, poppyseed oil, orange zest, and salt in a food processor or blender. Add 1 1/2 cup poppy seed paste; blend until hummus is smooth. Transfer hummus to a serving bowl.
Mix cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and nutmeg together in a small bowl to make spice topping. Sprinkle over hummus.
