Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 1 15.25 oz funfetti cake mix
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz cool whip or 2 cups stabilized whipped cream
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 Tablespoons sprinkles
Dippers
- Graham crackers
- Pretzels
- Apples, sliced
- Strawberries
- Nilla Wafers
- Animal Crackers
Instructions
- Heat Cake Mix: Pour the funfetti cake mix into a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat this heating and stirring process until the cake mix has been warmed for a total of 2 minutes, reaching an internal temperature of 165º F to safely kill any bacteria. Remove from the microwave and allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the whipped topping.
- Combine Cream Cheese Mixture: Once the cake mix is cooled, add the softened cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy without any lumps.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the cool whip or stabilized whipped cream into the cream cheese and cake mix mixture until well combined, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and top with the sprinkles for a festive look. Serve immediately with an assortment of dippers like graham crackers, pretzels, sliced apples, strawberries, Nilla Wafers, and animal crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Warming the cake mix is essential to kill any bacteria since it’s intended to mimic cake batter, which is typically eaten raw.
- Ensure the cake mix is completely cooled before mixing with the whipped topping to prevent melting and separation.
- You can substitute stabilized whipped cream for cool whip for a fresher homemade version.
- This dip is best served the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; bring it to room temperature before serving.
- Feel free to add more or fewer sprinkles based on your preference for color and texture.
