Who says you can't?!?!? I work in a resturant and we freeze it all the time! Just make sure your ingredience are cool before you blend them and then put it in a ziplock bag. never a bowl! It'll be fine for 12-18 months.

I freeze hummus in a tightly-covered plastic container all the time. I defrost it in the refrigerator, stir in a touch of olive oil and transfer to a serving dish - always perfect.
Hope that helps!

Homous (hummus) can be frozen but can tend to get a little watery when thawed.
Defrost in the refrigerator, and whisk before serving.
Put it in an ice cube tray to make single-sized servings.
Transfer the hummus cubes to another container for storage. They don't take long to defrost later.

Freezing denatures the protein and causes it to seperate and become watery

because it freezes at a very low temperature-like below -100 degrees celsius.

it's an emulsion... a mixture of oil (from the garlic & the tahini) and water-soluble fiber (chickpeas = garbanzos). If you freeze it, the watery fibery stuff gets solid, and separates from the oils. ^..^
