Moldovan Chickpea Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup precooked chickpeas (cold or warm, your choice) or 1 cup garbanzo beans (cold or warm, your choice)
    1 tablespoon honey
    2 tablespoons plain yogurt or 2 tablespoons sour cream
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (I used Ceylon cinnamon, from Penzey's, which is less sharp than \"regular\" cinnamon)
Preparation
    Place all ingredients in a food processor and whir until preferred texture is achieved, occasionally scraping down the sides.
    Eat and enjoy!
    Note: the texture I was able to get it to was still slightly chunky, unlike very smooth refried beans. Perhaps it was from using cold garbanzos from the fridge, or perhaps I simply could have processed it longer. In any case, I enjoyed it at the texture which was not completely smooth. Using a food mill would probably enable a smoother texture.
    Note #2: one person who has made and enjoyed it pointed out that it would be good as a dipper for fruits, or on bagels. Great idea! :).
