Begin by preparing the garlic. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the low-sodium mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and ground black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on a medium speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or processor with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Once the mixture is smooth, slowly drizzle in the olive oil while blending on a low speed. This will help to emulsify the aioli, giving it a richer, creamier consistency.
Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning if necessary. For additional heat or flavor, you may add more chipotle peppers as desired.
Transfer the aioli to a bowl or airtight container. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, as this helps the flavors to meld together.
Serve the chipotle aioli as a dip, spread, or sauce. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
