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
For Serving
- Potato chips, crackers, or vegetables
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 no lumps remain.
- Combine Wet Ingredients and Seasonings: Add the sour cream, dill pickle juice, garlic powder, and chopped fresh dill to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Pickles: Fold in the diced dill pickles by beating until just combined, being careful not to overmix to preserve the texture of the pickles.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve chilled or at room temperature alongside potato chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables as desired.
Notes
- For best flavor, chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Use low-fat or regular cream cheese based on dietary preference without sacrificing creaminess.
- Fresh dill can be substituted with dried dill, using about 1 teaspoon if fresh is unavailable.
- Adjust garlic powder to taste; freshly minced garlic can be used for a stronger flavor.
- This dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
