I swear I’ve been told a recipe for some desert that used blended/mashed chickpeas as a base, but I can’t remember what it was. It seems like a weird choice at first glance, but I mean chickpeas just have a sort of warm and savory flavor and when mashed they do get a consistency in the same general ballpark as a lot of chilled deserts.
Now whether a given recipe is actually good with them, that’s up in the air, but they probably could be used as a base for a desert with a bit of experimentation. I just don’t really cook sweet things, so I haven’t tried personally.
