If you love hummus as much as I do, you will definitely fall head over heels with this creamy garlic hummus. In this post I will show you how to make the creamiest garlic hummus with pine nuts & paprika. This hummus is insanely delicious, like seriously guys, highly addictive, plus it´s easy to make and done within minutes.
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.
