Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) funfetti cake mix, heat-treated
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Heat-treat Cake Mix: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the funfetti cake mix evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to heat-treat it. This step ensures the cake mix is safe to consume without baking the dip. Allow the cake mix to cool completely before using.
- Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy, creating a creamy base for the dip.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Incorporate the powdered sugar into the mixture, beating until fully combined and smooth, which will add sweetness and body to the dip.
- Mix in Cake Mix, Milk, and Vanilla: Gradually add the cooled heat-treated cake mix along with the milk and vanilla extract. Beat the ingredients together until the dip is creamy, smooth, and well incorporated.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip, adding fun bursts of color and texture.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dip to thicken and the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Serve the chilled dip with an assortment of dippers such as graham crackers, animal crackers, vanilla wafers, or pretzels.
Notes
- Heat-treating the cake mix is essential to ensure it is safe to eat raw.
- Adjust the milk quantity slightly to achieve your preferred dip consistency.
- For an extra festive touch, sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles on top just before serving.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator; consume within 4 days for best freshness.
