Aldi's new Pumpkin Pie and Sea Salt Caramel Dessert Hummus are both [seasonal dessert dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaholic-fall-desserts) that are only available for a limited time. For the Sea Salt Caramel variety, Aldi suggests serving with "apples, pretzels, graham crackers, or by the spoonful." Aldi suggests similar dipping options for the Pumpkin Pie hummus, also noting that the product was "made with love." Best of all, both dessert hummus dips are gluten-free and vegan. This means that they're a great option for holiday parties where dietary preferences may run the gamut.
