Ingredients
  

  • 1 can sweet potatoes in syrup, drained 29 oz can
  • ¼ tsp salt divided
  • 1 fresh habanero sliced
  • 1 jar candied jalapenos (sweet heat), drained 12 oz jar
  • 1 can great northern beans 15.5 oz can
  • 4 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 3 ½ tbsp of sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp water
  • 1 tub softened cream cheese (or Toffuti) 8 oz tub
  • 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce 14 oz can
  • ½ cup dark chocolate cranberries
  • ½ cup roasted/salted pistachios

Instructions
 

  • 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!
