Notes

- Optional: Before making the hummus, you could cook the chickpeas in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes which will soften them further.

- Refrigerate the leftovers in a sealed container afterward. This recipe also contains dairy products that can spoil quickly. For maximum freshness, eat the hummus within 3 to 4 days.
- If you would like it to be thinner, add a little more heavy cream.
- You can add up to 1 more tablespoon of tahini for more smoothness.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup.
