Transfer chickpeas to a food processor or a high-speed blender. Remove chickpea “skin” for a smoother hummus (optional). Blend until smooth.

Step 3

Scrape the sides, add tahini, salt, lemon juice and garlic if using. Process again until smooth. Add 3- 4 ice cubes (optional), process once more. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Note:
