Bean Surprise Dessert Dip

A creamy, pudding-like dessert dip made with Great Northern beans and cream cheese for a silky texture. Sweetened with condensed milk and dark brown sugar, lightly spiced with cinnamon, and finished with vanilla and a hint of espresso powder for depth. The flavor oddly echoes banana pudding without any banana, making it a cozy, nostalgic surprise.
