Dill Pickle Cream Cheese is a quick and flavorful dip combining creamy softened cream cheese with tangy dill pickles, zesty ranch seasoning, and fresh dill. Perfect as a spread or dip for crackers, baguette slices, bagels, or fresh vegetables, this easy-to-make appetizer brings a burst of savory zest to any gathering.

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (71 g) dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • Dill pickles, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, finely chopped dill pickles, dry ranch seasoning, and fresh chopped dill. Use a spatula or hand mixer to blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Chill to Develop Flavor: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and intensify for a tastier dip.
  3. Garnish and Serve: After chilling, garnish the dip with extra chopped dill pickles and a sprinkle of fresh dill on top. Serve it alongside crackers, sliced baguette, bagels, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth texture.
  • Adjust the amount of ranch seasoning to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger ranch flavor.
  • Can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This dip also pairs well with potato chips or pretzels as an alternative to crackers.
