(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Funfetti cake mix, Cool Whip topping, and vanilla yogurt.
Using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, mix everything together until smooth and well combined.
Once mixed, transfer the dip into a bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set.
Before serving, stir gently to smooth out the consistency and add extra sprinkles for a pop of color!
Serve with animal crackers, graham crackers, or any other sweet treats of your choice.

Servings and Timing

This recipe serves about 6-8 people, depending on how generously it’s served. It takes under 20 minutes to prepare, with a 30-minute chilling time in the fridge to allow the dip to set properly.

Variations

Add More Sprinkles: For an extra festive touch, add more sprinkles to the dip or sprinkle them on top for a colorful appearance.
Use Greek Yogurt: If you prefer a thicker consistency, Greek yogurt works great instead of regular vanilla yogurt.
Try Different Cake Mix Flavors: While Funfetti is the classic choice, you could experiment with other cake mix flavors, like vanilla or chocolate, for a fun twist on the recipe.

Storage/Reheating

This Funfetti cake dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can easily prepare it a day or two in advance. Just be sure to cover it well to prevent it from drying out.

If you want to freeze it, you can store the dip in a ziplock bag (press out all the air) for up to a month. To thaw, simply move it to the fridge overnight before serving.

FAQs

1. Can I eat cake mix raw in this recipe?

Yes, most cake mixes, including Funfetti, are now safe to eat raw. However, always check the packaging to ensure it’s safe, or you can heat-treat the flour by spreading the cake mix on a baking sheet and baking it at 350°F for 5 minutes.

2. Can I use whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

While whipped cream could work, I don’t recommend it as a substitute for Cool Whip. Cool Whip has more stability, which helps keep the dip’s texture intact. Whipped cream from a can tends to be too soft and could affect the consistency of the dip.

3. Can I make this dip without yogurt?

Yes, if you’re not a fan of yogurt, you can substitute it with sour cream or even cream cheese for a thicker, tangier texture. Just keep in mind that the flavor will be slightly different.

4. How long does this dip last in the fridge?

This dip will last about 5-7 days in the refrigerator if stored properly in an airtight container. Be sure to give it a quick stir before serving.

5. What should I serve with Funfetti cake dip?

I like to serve it with sweet treats like animal crackers, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or even pretzels. You can also serve it with fresh fruit like strawberries or apple slices for a refreshing twist.

Conclusion

Funfetti cake dip is a super simple yet festive dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s quick to prepare, requires no baking, and can be customized with fun variations. Whether you’re serving it at a party or just enjoying a sweet treat at home, it’s a guaranteed hit that will leave everyone asking for the recipe!
