By this time of year, we've all had more than enough sweets. With the new year just around the corner, many people will be looking for a more guilt-free indulgence than Christmas cookies and hot cocoa. Boar's Head, a deli brand, created a dessert hummus that sounds as good as any sweet treat—just healthier.
The brand announced the new flavor, Chocolate Mint Dessert Hummus, in late October. The hummus is one of Boar's Head's "seasonal selections" only available for a limited time. The gluten-free snack is made with chickpeas, rich cocoa, organic sugar, and "a hint of mint to produce an extraordinary tasting, healthier indulgence."
Boar's Head suggests pairing the Chocolate Mint hummus with cookies, pretzels, and fruit. Imagine dipping a THIN MINT in Chocolate Mint hummus! That basically defeats the "healthier" purpose, but would be a heavenly combo. In a comment on Instagram, Boar's Head recommended raspberries, strawberries, and pineapple chunks with the hummus because "they pair well with the hint of lime."
One Instagram user commented on Boar's Head photo, raving about the hummus. "I looooove this hummus! Already bought 2 containers of it! One for dipping pretzels in and the other I used in the batch of cookies I just made this morning."
Boar's Head website offers a recipe for Chocolate Mint Hummus Layered Mousse, and it looks SO good. The holiday treat is described as "creamy chocolate mint hummus layered with decadent white chocolate and crushed cookies." Uh, yes please!
Boar's Head products are sold in "select supermarkets, gourmet stores, and fine eateries," so keep an eye out for the dessert hummus at a store near you. The company notes that if you need help finding a location, you can call 1-800-352-6277.
