Ingredients
Scale
Dip
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) vanilla or funfetti cake mix (heat treated)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles, plus extra for topping
For Serving
- Animal crackers, graham crackers, or vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Heat treat the cake mix: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cake mix evenly on a baking sheet and bake it for 5 minutes to heat treat and eliminate any raw flour taste. Let it cool completely before using.
- Mix the creamy base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, ensuring a creamy dip base.
- Add sweetness and flavor: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Incorporate the cake mix: Gradually add the cooled cake mix to the bowl, mixing until well combined. This adds that signature funfetti flavor and texture.
- Adjust consistency: Add milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until the dip reaches a smooth, fluffy consistency that is perfect for dipping.
- Fold in sprinkles: Gently fold in 1/3 cup of rainbow sprinkles to add color and texture throughout the dip.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, top with extra sprinkles for decoration, and serve immediately with animal crackers, graham crackers, or vanilla wafers for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure to heat treat the cake mix to ensure it is safe to eat and free of any harmful bacteria from raw flour.
- Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For best texture and flavor, let the dip sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
