Why we love Funfetti Dip?

Oh let me count the ways! This funfetti cake batter dip has great cake batter flavor when you use a funfetti cake mix, and my little secret weapon – clear vanilla extract.

Let’s make Funfetti cake batter dip

To make this Funfetti cake batter dip, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 box of cake mix – Any Funfetti cake mix will work, like Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix. I used Annie’s organic confetti mix. Or you can use white cake mix as well if you can’t find a Funfetti cake mix. I haven’t tried it with chocolate cake mix, but I think it would make a great chocolate cake batter dip as well!
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened – I prefer a full-fat cream cheese for best flavor and texture, but I think light cream cheese would work fine.
• 8-ounces whipped topping, or homemade whipped cream – You could use a container of whipped topping (aka Cool whip) but I think it’s worth the extra few minutes of making your own homemade whipped cream.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I prefer clear vanilla) – Clear vanilla will give you the brightest, whitest cake batter dip, and gives you more of a “true cake batter” flavor that can’t be beat. But pure vanilla extract or imitation vanilla extract will also work!
• 5-7 tablespoons milk – Any milk will work here. I used whole milk for richness, but a low-fat milk or dairy free milk will also work.
• rainbow sprinkles – Of course you can’t forget the sprinkles! You want to add sprinkles on top before serving, so the colors don’t bleed into the dip.

HOW TO MAKE FUNFETTI CAKE DIP

1. Heat the cake mix. . Preheat the oven to 350^oF. Spread the raw cake mix  onto a lined baking sheet. Cook for 5 minutes, then cool before using in the dip. Or you can also microwave the cake mix  in 30 second increments until an internal temperature reaches 165^oF.
2. Cream cream cheese and whip cream. In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and whip cream (or Cool Whip) together on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. 
3. Add cake mix. Beat until combined.
4. Add milk and vanilla. Beat in milk and vanilla until combined. 
5. Serve. Garnish with sprinkles. Serve dip immediately with cookies and graham crackers. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate. Before serving, let soften at room temperature.

How to make Cake Batter Dip

For safety reasons, it’s recommended to heat-treat the dry cake mix for this cake batter dip recipe. It’s as simple as heating the cake mix in the oven or the microwave briefly and then letting it cool.

Spread the Funfetti cake mix onto a lined baking sheet. Cook for 5 minutes, then cool before using in the dip. Or you can also microwave the cake mix  in 30 second increments until an internal temperature reaches 165oF.

Cream cream cheese and whip cream (or Cool Whip).

I prefer to make homemade whip cream for this Funfetti dip, but in a pinch you can use Cool whip.

In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and whipped cream (or whipped topping) together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. 

For best results, it’s best to use an electric mixer to get the best creamy texture. But if you don’t have one you could mix with a spatula or wooden spoon but just make sure the cream cheese is very soft to work with.

Add cake mix. Make sure it’s cool enough to add to the whip cream mixture so it doesn’t melt the whip cream and cream cheese. Beat until completely combined.

Add milk and vanilla. Beat in milk and vanilla until combined. Start with 5 Tablespoons milk, and add 1-2 tablespoons milk more until a desired consistency is reached.

Serve. Garnish with sprinkles. Serve dip immediately with cookies, like Animal crackers or Nilla vanilla wafers, or graham crackers. You can also serve with fresh fruit, like strawberries. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate. Before serving, let soften at room temperature.

DO YOU HAVE TO CHILL THE DIP BEFORE EATING?

If you’re serving it right away, then no you do not need to refrigerate this cake batter dip. You can mix it up and serve it immediately, making it a perfect last minute dessert!

Birthday Cake Dip Serving Ideas

To serve this birthday cake batter dip, I love serving it with these favorite dippers:

• Nilla vanilla wafers

HOW TO HEAT TREAT BOXED CAKE MIX

Like raw flour, used in my brownie batter dip, it’s recommended to heat treat boxed cake mix to kill any bacteria that could make someone sick.

It’s super simple to do and takes only minutes! I heat treat boxed cake mix on a baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes, then allow it to cool. But you can also heat treat raw flour or cake mix in the microwave until the temperature reaches 165^oF.
