How to Make This Funfetti Cake Batter Dip Recipe
Step One: Choose a Method to Heat Treat the Cake Mix
- Microwave instructions: Microwave the dry cake mix in a microwave-safe bowl for (2) 30-second intervals stirring in between. Allow the cake mix to come to room temperature before using.
- Oven instructions: For heat treating raw cake mix in the oven, place cake mix on a large cookie sheet prepared with parchment paper. Evenly spread your cake mix out to cover the entire baking sheet. Cook cake mix at 350 degrees for 5 minutes and allow it to come to room temperature before use.
Step Two: Combine Cake Mix and Cream Cheese
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and cake mix using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Mix on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes or until the ingredients are fully combined. It will be thick.
Step Three: Add Whipped Cream
- Fold in the cool whip. Mix well until fully combined.
Step Four: Add Sprinkles and Chill
- Add sprinkles and fold them in.
- Cover with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. Place inside the refrigerator, for 30 minutes to chill or until ready to serve.
- To serve, garnish with extra sprinkles and serve with your favorite cookies, sweet crackers, or any of your favorite dippers.
Funfetti Dip Recipe Variations
- White cake mix: If you want a specific color scheme, you can swap out the Funfetti cake mix with a white cake mix and then use the color sprinkles you’d like to use. It’s a great option for theme parties.
- Double chocolate dip: If you have chocolate lovers in your life, you can use a chocolate cake mix, chocolate sprinkles, and even add in some mini chocolate chips for extra rich chocolatey flavor.
- Cookies and cream dip: Adding crushed Oreo cookies to the dip is a fun idea. I would recommend using white or chocolate cake mixes instead of Funfetti.
- Other cake mix options: You can make this dip with any of your favorite cake mix flavors. Lemon, strawberry, or even a spice cake mix tastes delicious.
- Add some crunch: Add a bit of crunch with chopped toasted almonds or pecans. Toasted coconut flakes and mini white chocolate chips are other great add-ins.
- Toppings: Have fun and give this dip an extra sweetness with a drizzle of fruit syrups, chocolate syrup, or caramel sauce.
