Notes
Pumpkin Puree is different from Pumpkin Pie Filling. DO NOT use pumpkin pie filling in this recipe otherwise, the hummus will turn out sweet.
Use ice-cold water while blending the hummus for a creamier texture. It also prevents the hummus from turning darker in color while blending.
Make this hummus a day prior to serving for the best flavor.
This recipe can be easily halved or doubled.
