Are you ready to enjoy some chickpeas for dessert?

I know, I know, it sounds a bit weird but I promise you that this pumpkin pie hummus does NOT taste like you’re eating a giant pile of plain chickpeas.

Instead, it tastes like you’re enjoying the delicious filling that is pumpkin pie. Yes, for real!

• You have hints of sweet brown sugar.
• Warm cinnamon and vanilla.
• That touch of spicy kick from molasses, ginger and cloves.
• And of course plenty of pumpkin puree and cashew butter for richness. 

It’s seriously good. And the perfect healthier snack or dessert for the season. 

Now, I know you can buy pumpkin pie hummus at the store. BUT. It’s super easy to make at home and quite a bit cheaper.

Not to mention it just tastes better. I tried a store-bought version last year and was not impressed.

It was like eating sugar with just a touch of cinnamon. You could barely tell there was any pumpkin involved.

How To Make Pumpkin Pie Hummus 

So, let’s talk about how this easy dessert hummus goes down:

Add everything to a food processor. First up, we’ll add some chickpeas, pumpkin puree, sugar, cashew butter and warm spices to the bowl of a food processor. 

Blend until smooth. We’ll process for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the hummus is smooth and creamy. 

Stir in chocolate. Next, we’ll transfer the mixture to an airtight container and stir in some optional chocolate chips for a hint of crunch.

Chill in the fridge. Finally, we’ll pop our hummus in the fridge to chill for at least several hours to allow the flavors to meld. 

Serving Ideas

Now, you have LOTS of options when it comes to dipping vessels for this hummus. Here’s a few ideas to get you started:

• pretzels
• graham crackers
• ginger snaps
• cinnamon pita chips or plain pita chips
• sliced apples
• plain crackers 

You really can’t go wrong.

Tips & Tricks

1. Please don’t skip the chill time for the hummus. And preferably, let it sit overnight in the fridge before enjoying. The flavors really meld during this time and the taste goes from good to great.
2. If you don’t have cashew butter, you can absolutely use almond butter instead. However I wouldn’t suggest using peanut butter, as the flavor will be too strong and overpower everything else. 
3. And finally, the chocolate chips are totally optional but SO GOOD. I mean, chocolate + pumpkin is a match made in heaven.

How To Store

The hummus will keep for about 5 to 7 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
• ¾ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• ½ cup coconut sugar (or lightly packed brown sugar)
• ¼ cup cashew butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon unsulphured molasses
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
• ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
• ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ¼ to ⅓ cup dairy free mini chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor EXCEPT the chocolate chips. Process for about 1 to 2 minutes, stopping once halfway through to scrape down the bowl, until the hummus is nice and smooth. 
2. If you need to thin out the hummus, add in a splash of almond milk (or milk of choice) and process again - the hummus will thicken slightly as it chills in the fridge, so add a touch of milk if you think the consistency is already too thick (I don’t usually need to add any in this hummus thanks to the moisture from the pumpkin).
3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container, then stir in the chocolate chips if using. Chill in the refrigerator for at least several hours (but preferably overnight).
4. Serve as desired!
