Soak over night and cook in a large pot with a 1/2 tsp of sodium bicarbonate for over an hour. The chickpeas have to be very soft in order for the hummus to be creamy. Don’t stick to the other measurements I have above because it’ll be slightly different – taste as you go along. Also, a good trick for making hummus is to use an immersion blender instead of the food processor (I discovered this after I wrote this post – I need to update it). I hope this helps! Let me know how it turns out.

Thanks lots!
