# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The pickle brine actually cuts the richness so you can eat twice as much without feeling overwhelmed
- It comes together in literally ten minutes but tastes like something that simmered all day
02 -
- Cold cream cheese creates lumps that no amount of mixing can fix, so take it out of the fridge at least an hour before you start
- The flavors actually improve after sitting in the fridge for a few hours, so do not be afraid to make this the morning before your party
03 -
- Use your stand mixer with the paddle attachment if you are making a double batch for a crowd
- Reserve a little extra cheese for the top because that golden-orange layer on top makes people instinctively trust the dip
