Ingredients
- 3 whole Habanero peppers
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by wearing gloves to handle the habanero peppers. Remove the stems and seeds for a milder dip or keep a few seeds for additional heat.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the habanero peppers and garlic cloves. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened and aromatic.
Step 3
In a food processor or blender, add the cooked habaneros and garlic, cream cheese, sour cream, honey, lime juice, and salt.
Step 4
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 5
Chop the cilantro finely and fold it into the blended mixture for a burst of fresh flavor.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more honey for sweetness, lime juice for acidity, or salt as needed.
Step 7
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or use as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
