Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
1/4 cup pickle juice
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup crispy fried onions or panko breadcrumbs (for topping variation)
Instructions
Place the softened cream cheese and sour cream in a medium mixing bowl. Beat them together with an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Fold in the finely chopped dill pickles, pickle juice, dried dill weed, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste the dip and add a small splash more pickle juice if you desire more tang.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
For the crunchy topping variation, sprinkle the crispy fried onions or toasted panko breadcrumbs over the top of the dip just before serving.
Serve this cold dip immediately with your favorite chips, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
You can make this dip ahead of time. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
To create a ‘Pickle Wrap Dip’ feel, mix in 4 ounces of shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the cream cheese base.
For a ‘Fried Pickle Inspired’ texture, toast 1/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs in a dry skillet until golden brown before using as a topping.
