What you need for dessert hummus
- canned chickpeas – chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) are the base of any hummus! If you’re feeling adventurous you can save the aquafaba to make a vegan whipped cream to top it with.
- pumpkin puree – what’s pumpkin hummus without canned pumpkin?
- cashew butter – you can use homemade or store bought, but this makes it a creamy delicious dip.
- maple syrup – adding a little sweet and fall flavor
- vanilla extract – always a good idea
- pumpkin pie spice – this is where all that fall flavor comes
For Dipping
Dessert hummus is made for dipping. Really, you can dip anything in and it would be delicious, but here are a few favorites:
- apple slices – it’s the perfect fall combo!
- crunchy cookies – like gingersnaps or pecan sandies
- pretzels – a sweet and salty crunch
- graham crackers
- cinnamon sugar pita chips
- strawberries
- dark chocolate
