This Mouthwatering Dill Pickle Cream Cheese spread combines the tangy crunch of dill pickles with smooth, creamy cheese and fresh dill, creating a flavorful and easy-to-make spread perfect for bagels, crackers, or as a dip. A simple yet delicious recipe that adds a zesty twist to your snack or appetizer options.

Ingredients

Scale

Spread Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup diced dill pickles (about 6 spears)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp pickle juice
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Cream Cheese and Pickle Ingredients: Place the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl. Add the diced dill pickles, pickle juice, and finely chopped fresh dill on top of the cream cheese. These ingredients will form the base of your flavorful spread.
  2. Mix Everything Together: Using a flat spatula or spoon, fold the cream cheese over the pickle mixture and gently pat it down. Continue mixing and folding until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture looks uniform. Ensure the pickles are well distributed for bursts of flavor in every bite.
  3. Season and Serve: Taste the spread and adjust seasoning with salt and red pepper flakes as desired. Serve immediately on bagels, crackers, or as a dip. For a little extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, but it is equally delicious without them.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Fresh dill offers a brighter flavor, but dried dill can be used if fresh is unavailable.
  • Adjust the amount of pickle juice to taste, but avoid making the spread too runny.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional and add a nice spicy contrast.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
