Ingredients

1 (15.25 oz) funfetti cake mix
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz cool whip or 2 cups stabilized whipped cream
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons sprinkles
Graham crackers, for serving
Pretzels, for serving
Apples, for serving
Strawberries, for serving
Nilla Wafers, for serving
Animal Crackers, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Pour the funfetti cake mix into a large bowl. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir well, and repeat until it has been heated for a total of 2 minutes. The mixture should reach 165ºF to eliminate any bacteria. Remove it from the microwave and let it cool completely to avoid melting the whipped topping.
Step 2: Once the cake mix is cool, add the cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is well combined.
Step 4: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the top with sprinkles. Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, apples, strawberries, Nilla Wafers, and animal crackers for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For best results, use stabilized whipped cream if you prefer a homemade option over cool whip to prevent the dip from getting watery.
Add a little extra milk if the dip feels too thick or stiff.
Try mixing in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Keep the dip chilled until ready to serve for the freshest taste and best consistency.

Storage

Store the Cake Batter Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, give it a quick stir. If it thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk to loosen it. This dip is best served chilled and does not require reheating.
