Wash the jalapenos and pat them dry. Remove the stems and slice them in half lengthwise. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes.
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Place the halved jalapenos and garlic cloves into the skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the jalapenos are slightly charred and the garlic is golden brown. Remove from heat and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the sautéed jalapenos and garlic to a food processor or blender.
Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Pour the dipping sauce into a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper or chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Stir before serving if refrigerated.
