In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the dried dates and garlic cloves. Pulse the mixture until finely chopped, about 30 seconds.

Add the plain cream cheese and sour cream to the date and garlic mixture. Blend on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Add the curry powder, salt, and ground pepper. Blend again for an additional 30 seconds.

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. If too thick, add a splash of water or more sour cream.

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with raw vegetables.
