How to make Mustard Hummus with Cream Cheese

If you like stone ground mustard, you will love this creamy and spicy hummus.

It might seem like a lot of cream cheese, but it is needed to balance the strong flavor of the mustard.

In a tall container, combine all ingredients and puree with an immersion blender. Be sure to puree for a few minutes to ensure maximum creaminess.

Top with a drizzle of olive oil and serve with hard pretzels.

How to make Cream Cheese and Garlic Chili Hummus

While this looks like roasted red pepper hummus, it is so much more delicious and flavorful!  I made this for a Superbowl party and people just loved it.

In a tall container, combine all ingredients and puree with an immersion blender.  If you do not have an immersion blender, you can use a food processor, but will not be as creamy though.  Just be sure to add the oil slowly after all of the ingredients are pureed.

Garnish with some chili powder, green onion, and some chili paste to let people know what's in it.

I served this with potato chips and pretzels, but you can serve it with pita chips or veggies too!
