Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 cup chopped pickles
  • 1 Tablespoon ranch seasoning

Instructions

  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add in sour cream, pickle juice, garlic powder, dill and beat until combined. 
  • Add in chopped dill pickles, ranch seasoning and stir together.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.
  • Top with some fresh chopped dill pickles and serve with potato chips.

Notes

  • Let it chill. Let it chill for about an hour in the fridge. As tempting as it totally is to dig in after just a few minutes of chilling, I implore you to let the Pickle Dip chill for the full 60 minutes! This isn’t just so it’s cold, but also so the pickle flavor really has time to settle.
  • How to serve. Pickle Dip is always meant to be served with some salty potato chips or crackers! However, it’s also tasty with sliced cucumbers if you want a fresher bite. If you go the cucumber route, I recommend cutting the cucumbers into thick slices so they’re nice and sturdy like a chip.
  • Dried Dill. While I love the taste that fresh dill brings to this dip, in a pinch dried dill is a great substitute and tastes great.
  • Make Ahead. Because it needs to chill, this is a great dip to make ahead of time so you don't have to worry about prepping it right before a party or get-together.
  • Softened Cream Cheese. It's so important to use softened cream cheese. It makes it so much easier to get a smooth dip. If you don't soften the cream cheese it will be a frustrating experience.
  • Store. Store your pickle dip in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze. This dip can be frozen for up to 2 months in an airtight container. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
