Creamy {Black} Garlic Dip

I had never heard of black garlic until my friend grew garlic and made some, shipped it to me and I stared at the opened box thinking "what do I do with this?"  I decided - Garlic Dip would be my first use...
..."Black Garlic's origins are centuries old. Originally it was introduced as a health product and is still perceived as a heath food supplement.  In Thailand it is thought to increase the consumer's longevity. In the United States it has only entered the mainstream since 2008. It is sought after by top chefs for it's complex, sweet and savory flavor..."
