Can hummus be frozen?

Hummus can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator for 1 day. before serving, taste for texture. If the hummus seems gritty or separated, place in the food processor with 2 tablespoons warm water and puree, scraping the sides of the bowl until it is smooth and creamy. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with cilantro before serving.

Can it be made in a blender?

If you do not have a food processor, you can use a blender. Two common issues with making hummus in a blender is that it is difficult to get the mixture going because there is not a lot of liquid in it. It is also a challenge to get it all scraped out because the blade usually blocks the bottom of the pitcher. You may need to add a couple of tablespoons of water to the blender to get it moving. For Vitamix blenders (or similar high-powered blender) use the mashing wand to help the process. If the bottom blade of your blender can be unscrewed, this is a helpful way to get all of the hummus out of the blender.
