Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened Full-fat for best texture; low-fat works but is thinner.
  • 1 cup sour cream Can substitute Greek yogurt for tang and protein.
  • 1 cup dill pickles, finely chopped Crisp pickles give better texture.
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle juice From the jar.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped Optional — adds brightness.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Take the cream cheese out of the fridge and let it sit until soft — about 20–30 minutes. For a shortcut, microwave in 5–7 second bursts until just softened.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the sour cream until completely smooth and lump-free, using a whisk or an electric mixer on low.
  3. Fold in the chopped dill pickles and pickle juice, stirring until evenly distributed.
  4. Add the garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. If using fresh dill, fold it in now.
  5. Taste and adjust: add more pickle juice for tang, more garlic powder for savory depth, or a pinch of sugar if your pickles are very sharp.
  6. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dip firm up.
