Boar's Head produces a few different kinds of dessert hummus, including Dark Chocolate Dessert Hummus and a Chocolate Raspberry Flavored Dessert Hummus, and its newest hummus dessert is an autumnal variety inspired by pumpkin pie. The Pumpkin Pie Dessert Hummus is made with a base of steamed chickpeas that's built upon with real pumpkin, plus ingredients that are essential to the fall pie like ground vanilla beans, organic sugar and warming spices.
While the Pumpkin Pie Dessert Hummus can be enjoyed on its own as a snack, Boar's Head also suggests recipes like pumpkin pie dessert hummus tarts and pumpkin pie itself, where the sweet spread itself serves as a stand-in for the classic pumpkin pie filling within a pre-baked pie crust.
