# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The tang from pickles cuts through rich buffalo heat in a way you didnt know you needed
  • Takes literally ten minutes from start to finish no cooking required
  • Gets better after a day in the fridge so make it ahead and thank yourself later
02 -
  • Cold ingredients just don't blend the same way take the cream cheese out at least an hour before starting
  • The dip thickens up in the fridge and the flavors really marry overnight so don't be afraid to make it a day ahead
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend into something silky smooth while cold ones leave you fighting lumps
  • The pickle juice isn't optional it's what makes this dip sing instead of just tasting like wing sauce with stuff in it
