How to Make the Creamiest Garlic Hummus

This garlic hummus is so creamy you won´t believe your eyes. The secret to making hummus creamy is to slowly pour in the cold water as the ingredients are mixing together in the food processor. By slowly pouring in the cold water, it emulsifies the ingredients to create a super creamy hummus. No more waisting time removing chickpea skins 🙂 .

What really makes this hummus better than rest is the amazing garlic flavor that it has. Besides using raw garlic, I also added some garlic infused olive oil. This is what takes this hummus to the next-level in garlicky goodness. For this recipe I used a garlic infused olive oil from Heart of Texas Olive Oil Company. Trust me guys, this stuff is insanely delicious.

I will be honest with you guys, store-bought hummus is not that bad, but once you go homemade, you can never go back. This hummus is sooooo easy to make, done within minutes and uses simple ingredients. Plus check this out, no tahini here guys. Why? Because most people don´t have tahini in their house, plus it´s expensive, plus I prefer my hummus without tahini. #notahinihummus for me.

  3. Also add into the food processor 2 cloves of garlic, squeeze in 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp of garlic infused olive oil, 1/2 tsp of cumin powder, 3/4 tsp of fine sea salt and 1/8 tsp of freshly cracked black pepper

  5. Transfer the hummus into a shallow bowl, run a spoon through the hummus to create layers, then top off with 1 tbsp of the garlic infused olive oil, a generous sprinkle of sweet smoked paprika, the toasted pine nuts and some freshly chopped parsley, serve with pita chips or freshly cut veggies, enjoy!
