Drain one can of sweet potatoes (in syrup). Place ⅛ teaspoon salt and sweet potatoes in a food processor. Blend until mostly smooth. Remove half of the sweet potatoes and place in the bottom of your serving dish.
Add 2 tablespoons of candied jalapenos to the food processor with remaining sweet potatoes and blend. Set aside in another bowl.
Drain one can of great northern beans. Rinse thoroughly three times. Add the beans, cocoa powder, remaining salt, and sugar to the food processor. Blend until smooth, adding between 2-3 tablespoons of water as needed. Spread on top of the plain sweet potato layer.
Open the can of cranberry sauce and place in a bowl. Thinly slice a habanero pepper (keeping seeds) and stir into your cranberry sauce.
Assembly:
You should have two layers so far: plain sweet potatoes and chocolate “hummus."
Next, you will add a layer of jalapeno sweet potatoes.
On top of this, you will spread the softened cream cheese.
Then, put on the habanero cranberry sauce.
Finally, place a single layer of candied jalapenos.
Top with pistachios and chocolate covered cranberries. Chill, covered for at least two hours. This dip gets better the longer it chills and will keep for up to 2 days.
Serve with pita chips.
The longer you can chill it in the fridge, the better!
