Remove white papery skin of garlic, making sure not to peel or separate the cloves. Wrap each head separately in aluminum foil.

Separate cloves, and squeeze pulp into a small bowl; discard skins.

Mash pulp with a fork; set aside.

Cut off stems of artichokes, and remove bottom leaves. Trim about ½ inch from tops of artichokes, trim leaves if desired. Place artichokes, stem ends down, in a large Dutch oven filled two-thirds with water. Add lemon juice and basil; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 40 minutes or until a leaf near the center of each artichoke pulls out easily.

Add mayonnaise, yogurt, pepper and salt to mashed garlic pulp, stir well, and serve as a dipping sauce with artichokes.
