    hummus
  • Cover and freeze for 3-4 hours or until fully frozen.
  • Store in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Notes

  1. If possible, leave 1/2-1 inch of space between the top of the hummus and the lid of the container. This is called "headspace", and it allows for expansion during the freezing process. 
  2. You can freeze hummus for 3-4 months before the flavor and texture are impacted. Label containers with the date they went in the freezer.
  3. (optional): drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top of the hummus prior to freezing.
  4. To defrost: Allow the frozen hummus to fully thaw in the fridge overnight. If the hummus doesn’t contain dairy, you can leave it at room temperature on the counter for 2 hours to speed up the defrosting process.
