This creamy DILL PICKLE DIP comes together with just 4 ingredients and is ready to eat in minutes! It’s the perfect dip for chips and everyone raves over it!
It seems like pickles have been having a moment lately. It’s their time to shine. We’re especially loving them lately in our dill pickle chicken salad!
We’ve got pickled flavored foods that you’d never expect, we have the biggest variety of pickles in the stores that I’ve ever seen, and there are people on TikTok that just sit and eat pickles while you watch. <— I try to avoid those, because it honestly just makes me crave pickles.
I’m a total pickle girl, and dill pickles are where it’s at! Especially when they’re chopped up and mixed with cream cheese to make the most amazing chip dip!
This dill pickle dip is seriously life changing – it’s SO EASY, made with just four ingredients, and you can have it on your table in minutes! Obsessed.
Other favorite dips of mine include Rotel dip, BLT dip, and keto spinach dip.
Ingredient Notes:
Pickles – Dill pickles work best here, but use your favorite brand. We like Claussen.
Cream Cheese – Let it set out for 30 minutes to come to room temperature.
Worcestershire Sauce – Adds a savory depth to the dip.
Dill – The perfect way to top off this pickle dip is with some fresh or dried dill.

How to Make Pickle Dip:
Chop: Chop the pickles as fine or as chunky as you’d like.
Mix: Stir the pickles, pickle juice, and Worcestershire into the soft cream cheese.
Serve: Sprinkle with fresh or dried dill just before serving.
What to serve with pickle dip:
We love this dill pickle dip with a sturdy chip like Ruffles. The dip is fairly thick, so you’ll want a chip that can stand up to it.
Ritz crackers and pretzel thins are also good options.
Keep things low carb by dipping fresh veggies or pork rinds in your pickle dip!
Leftover dip? Spread the dip on a flour tortilla, add a couple slices of deli ham, and roll it up for a quick lunch or snack!
FAQs:
Store tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
There are a few ways to do this. You can of course leave it on the counter (covered) until it reaches room temperature. The microwave will also work but it can be tricky and it may not soften evenly.
Another option is to use warm water. You can leave the cream cheese sealed in the foil it comes in (but not the box) and place that into a bowl of warm water, flipping it every few minutes until it softens.
You can also try cutting the cream cheese into small pieces, placing it into a mixing bowl, and then wrapping a dish towel dampened in hot water around the bottom of the bowl.
We much prefer dill pickles in this dip, but any variety you like should work well. We buy whole pickles and chop them up, but any shape of pickle is fine.

Oh yeah. And you’re funny, too! I enjoyed your non-confessions regarding chips and dip!
Tonya says
This sounds delish – and what about adding a bit of pickled garlic as well? Whoa-mama! Get away from my chips and dip!
Karly says
@Tonya,
Sounds dangerous. 😉
Amy says
Made this dip as soon as I read the recipe. MMMMM! Yummy. thanks for sharing!
Michelle says
LOVE the idea, but to make it healthy swap out the cream cheese for greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is so much better for you especially if you get the 0% milk kind, you won’t need to feel so guilty about eating it all yourself. Plus its slightly sour so it would add to the pickle flavor better.
Amy says
I can’t wait to try. This may be better than Mayfields French Onion!?! My imagination thanks you. If you like this you should try this appetizer. Take a piece of crustless white bread & spread a thin layer of cream cheese on it. Take a whole dill pickle & pat dry with a paper towel. Lay the pickle on the end of the bread & roll up til the pickle is completely wrapped. Chill for a little, maybe an hour. Then take a sharp knife & slice like pennies into bite-sized pieces. Delicious & simple! Thanks for the post.

@Amy,
That sounds amazing!
Sara says
Gee, wherever did you get that recipe?
Karly says
@Sara,
My grade school friend’s mama used to make it for us whenever I’d spend the night. Perfect slumber party food. 🙂 Try it sometime!
Elaine says
I just made this for a BBQ for tomorrow. Then I tasted it. It may or may not make it to the party, after all. Who knew that cream cheese + pickles = heaven. Thanks for the recipe!
Andrew says
Silly question – I have a friend who wants chips for her birthday, instead of a cake. do you think if I made this recipe and put it in a sprinform pan in the fridge, it will hold enough on it’s own when i take it out of the fridge and remove the springform side? I was going to top it with dill pickle chips too, to make it pretty.
Thoughts?
Karly says
@Andrew,
First of all, if you do this, I insist that you send photos! So funny! Love your creativity.
And second, I do think it would work. Watch the amount of pickle juice you add so that it doesn’t get too wet, but otherwise it should be fine. I think it tastes best after it’s sat out for 30 minutes or so to soften, so you’ll have to just see how that goes.
Good luck!

Oh you just made my daughter a very happy girl and her mother a very unhappy girl! (I’m on a diet!) lol
Paula says
I love to cook and bake and I’m always looking for new unusual recipes which is exactly what I get from you. Thank you so much!!! I dont know which I love more, your creative recipes or your amazing sense of humor. I guess I love them equally. You always make me laugh!!!
Jerri says
Wow! I saw this on pinterest and just had to come over and check it out! Sounds really good!
Andrea says
I just found your blog today and I’m loving it! I’ve ZipListed a bunch of your recipes cuz they look fantastic.
I thought this dip would make a great sandwich spread too!

Just when I thought there was nothing better than drinking pickle juice straight out of the jar, you throw cream cheese into the mix and make my heart go pitter patter. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
Rhegis says
I love this dip. I faster and equally simple way to achieve virtually the same result is to use dill pickle relish. It has the pickles and pickle juice together already and gives the texture that the dill adds. Again, either way I love this dip.
MamaB77 says
This tastes super yummy and I’m thinking it would make a great filler for flour tortilla pinwheels. Slather it on, roll it up and slice into disks! Yummy appetizer!
