It literally takes minutes to whip up, and this recipe will give you a decent amount to share. Or you could have it all to yourself and you can’t go wrong with a big plate of crudités for dipping!

This post contains affiliate links: what this means
We use Sukrin 1 which is an all-natural granulated stevia sweetener alternative to sugar with zero calories. You can grab Sukrin 1 over on Amazon UK. Sukrin 1 doesn’t have that strange after taste that a lot of artificial sweeteners do! It also shares the exact same sweetness and weight to sugar – which makes it really easy to substitute in recipes like this Sweet Chilli Hummus-Style Dip.
That being said you don’t have to use Sukrin – there are lots of other high quality granulated sweeteners available from the supermarket, such as Canderel Sugarly, and Natvia.
