Main Ingredients
- 1 box funfetti cake mix (heat-treated)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Heat Treat Cake Mix: Spread the funfetti cake mix evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to heat treat and eliminate any bacteria. Allow it to cool completely before using in the dip.
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until it is smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
- Combine Cake Mix: Gradually add the cooled heat-treated cake mix into the cream cheese, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Milk: Slowly add milk, one tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition until you reach the desired creamy and scoopable consistency for the dip.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture with a spatula to maintain a light and fluffy texture, avoiding overmixing.
- Add Sprinkles: Fold in the 1/4 cup of rainbow sprinkles gently to evenly distribute the colorful confetti throughout the dip.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and chill properly.
- Serve: Before serving, sprinkle extra rainbow sprinkles on top for decoration and serve the dip with cookies, crackers, or fresh fruit for dipping.
Notes
- The heat-treating step of the cake mix is essential for safety because the mix contains raw flour.
- If you prefer a thicker dip, reduce milk slightly or refrigerate longer before serving.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- The dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Try pairing the dip with graham crackers, animal crackers, or sliced apples for a tasty variety.
