Any idea why my homemade hummus turned out thick?

[KarenDeel]

Frustrated, and desperate for help! I need some advice! I tried making homemade hummus, but it turned out really thick and not the creamy texture I was aiming for. I followed the recipe, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Any ideas or tips to help me achieve that perfect, silky-smooth consistency?

Hey there!

I totally get your frustration. For that creamy, silky hummus, try these tips:

1. Overcook your chickpeas: Super soft chickpeas blend smoother.
2. Ice water: Add a bit of ice-cold water while blending.
3. Tahini first: Blend tahini and lemon juice before adding chickpeas.

Hope this helps! You'll have perfect hummus in no time!
