Hummus is a popular paste in the Middle East made from chickpeas, sesame, garlic, and lemons. The following is a sweet alternative to this dish that contains espresso coffee - hence the name hummus is to be understood generally.

Then, the chickpeas must be rinsed, cooked in a lot of fresh water with the addition of purified soda, rinsed thoroughly through a sieve, and cooled. Then, the chickpeas must be processed with tahini paste into a smooth paste, sweetener must be added, and processed again. Then, cold coffee must be gradually added to obtain the desired consistency.4. Coconut and coffee bean bars
