Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) block plain cream cheese, at room temperature (low fat is fine)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 cup diced dill pickles
Serving Suggestions
- Potato chips, crackers, or vegetables, for serving
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Seasoning: Add the sour cream, dill pickle juice, garlic powder, and chopped fresh dill to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture again until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Incorporate Pickles: Fold in the diced dill pickles gently by beating just until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip but still retain some texture.
- Serve: Transfer the finished dip to a serving bowl. Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside potato chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- The dip can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated to develop deeper flavor.
- For a thicker dip, use less sour cream or add more cream cheese.
- Use fresh dill for best flavor; dried dill can be substituted but reduce quantity to 1 teaspoon.
- Low fat cream cheese and sour cream can be used to reduce calories without sacrificing much taste.
- Excellent for parties, picnics, or game day snacks.
