2. Next blitz your dried chickpeas, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla bean paste, cinnamon and salt in a food processor until nice and smooth.
3. Pop your cookie dough mixture into a bowl and stir in your chocolate chips, before separating the mix into chunks similar in size to a tablespoon. Place in the fridge and move onto your nicecream.
