Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how fast and foolproof this recipe is. It comes together in one bowl, doesn’t require baking, and has all the nostalgic flavor of Funfetti cake. The dip is light, fluffy, and packed with sprinkles. It’s a crowd-pleaser at parties, birthdays, or just a casual night in. And since it’s so simple, I can easily make it ahead or tweak it to match the occasion.

Ingredients

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

Funfetti cake mix
Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Vanilla yogurt (regular or Greek)
Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Dippers like animal crackers, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fruit

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, I combine the Funfetti cake mix, whipped topping, and vanilla yogurt.
I use an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon to blend everything until smooth and fluffy—about 2 minutes.
I transfer the dip to a serving bowl and let it chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Just before serving, I top it with sprinkles and place it out with a variety of dippers.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 15 servings. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to mix and about 15 minutes to chill in the fridge, so it’s ready to serve in under 20 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I switch things up depending on what I have on hand.

I use Greek yogurt for a thicker dip or regular yogurt for something creamier.
If I don’t have Funfetti cake mix, I use vanilla or yellow cake mix and stir in my own sprinkles.
A splash of vanilla extract adds extra flavor.
For holidays, I match the sprinkle colors to the theme—red and green for Christmas, pastels for Easter, etc.

storage/reheating

I keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Before serving again, I give it a quick stir to fluff it back up. If I want to make it ahead or freeze some, I spread it into a freezer-safe bag, press it flat, and store it for up to a month. I let it thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

FAQs

What if I’m worried about eating raw cake mix?

If I’m concerned about raw flour, I heat-treat the cake mix first. I spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes, then let it cool before using.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I often make it the day before. I wait to add the sprinkles until right before serving to keep the colors from bleeding into the dip.

How thick is the dip, and can I adjust it?

The dip is thick and fluffy, almost like frosting. If I want it thinner, I use less cake mix or add a little milk. Greek yogurt makes it thicker, while regular yogurt gives a lighter texture.

What should I serve with this dip?

I usually go with animal crackers, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or pretzels. Fresh fruit like apple slices or strawberries also pair nicely.

Can I freeze the dip?

Yes, it freezes well. I seal it in a flat freezer bag, freeze it for up to a month, and then thaw it overnight in the fridge. I stir it before serving to bring back the creamy texture.

Conclusion

This Funfetti Cake Dip is one of my favorite go-to treats when I need something quick, festive, and delicious. It’s bright, creamy, and so easy to make with just a few pantry staples. I love how versatile it is, and it’s always a hit no matter where I bring it.
