This hummus recipe is a a perfect cold-to-warm weather transition recipe. I love the spiciness of curry mixed with sweet pumpkin, and the chickpeas and coconut milk make the dip very creamy and filling. —laurelmoll

Made a nice tasting mix though I altered to use what I had on hand. Needed to use 1/2 can of pumpkin and 4 Fresno chiles and had canned garbanzos so took it on a whirl. The tiny aliquot of coconut milk puzzled me and I opted not to open a can but used a teaspoon of coconut milk powder. Used Laxmi Brand ex-hot curry powder. Surprised no tahini but that was OK bc I did not want to open a new can. Instead of olive oil, I used a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil and 2 ice cubes. Folded the minced Fresno peppers in at the end. Tastes great now but I'm betting it'll be even better tomorrow on toasted K.A.'s European Black bread I baked earlier today. Thank you for helping me put some fridged items to good use. Suspect I'll be making this recipe again altering the curry powder depending on my mood. Could not taste the coconut milk at all - will not bother with it unless I have some needing using up and then I would go for up yo 1/4 cup to be able to discern it in the mix.

Guessing 1/2 teaspoon of coconut milk is a typo. Will make this and go for 1/2 cup instead.
