Equipment

  • hand mixer

Ingredients

Dip:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temp
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1 ounce package dry ranch seasoning
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped + more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle brine or more to taste
  • fresh cracked black pepper

optional:

  • 1-2 tablespoons white vinegar for an even tangier dip

Crispy topping:

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add panko bread crumbs, toasting until golden brown, stirring often. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
  • Add softened cream cheese to a medium size mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip until smooth and creamy then blend in cream cheese.
  • Add package of ranch seasoning, fresh dill, pickle brine, finely minced pickles and black pepper. Give it a good stir, blending well.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings and pickle brine. If you like an even tangier flavor or for a bigger pop, blend in a tablespoon of white vinegar.
    Optional garnish: fresh dill and minced pickles. Can serve right away but flavors intensify when the dip is refrigerated for 30-60 minutes (up to overnight).
  • This dip is delicious with kettle or ruffle potato chips, pretzels, crackers or vegetables.
