Can I freeze home made hummus

Hello all
As the title says really, can I freeze home made hummus? I soaked and cooked the chickpeas over the weekend, I'm not sure how long they'll last in the fridge as they are. I've got a gifted jar of tahini in the cupboard that, as my 80something gran would say, I am b****y well sick of looking at - so hummus it is! Ideally I want to take it for lunches next week with homemade toast, which I'm guessing is too long for the hummus to be kept in the fridge.
I am in a vicious chickpea cycle...

There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago.
I have always frozen both HM and SM Hummus and it's fine after a good stir. I sometimes add an extra splash of olive oil after defrosting if my HM stuff is a bit thick iyswim'I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore'0 -
Thanks Karcher, sorry I didn't spot the old thread
I've now made such a huge batch of smoked paprika hummus, an 'embarrassment' of hummus, if you will
Frozen all but one batch, which is in the fridge, because I know when DH spots it he'll want some!
