Overview: How to make funfetti dip

This funfetti cake dip is built from three simple components:

  • Boxed cake mix – A funfetti cake mix works best for the sprinkles already mixed in. Plain vanilla cake mix also works; just stir in colorful sprinkles.
  • Whipped topping – Use a stable whipped topping (such as tub-style Cool Whip) for the best texture and structure. Avoid aerosol whipped cream for this recipe.
  • Vanilla yogurt – Regular, low-fat, or nonfat vanilla yogurt all work. Greek yogurt can be used if you prefer a thicker dip, though the texture will be denser.

Combine the cake mix, whipped topping, and vanilla yogurt with an electric mixer until smooth. Chill briefly to let the dip set, then garnish with extra sprinkles and serve with animal crackers, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or other dippers.

Make ahead tips

You can buy the ingredients ahead of time—boxed cake mix, whipped topping, and yogurt have good shelf life. Once prepared, store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir gently before serving to restore a smooth consistency.

The dip can also be frozen for up to one month. Press the mixture into a zip-top bag, remove excess air, and flatten the bag for even freezing and thawing. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator, then transfer to a bowl and stir before serving.

Is it safe to eat cake mix?

Many modern boxed cake mixes are formulated to be safe to eat without baking. If you’re unsure, check the ingredient list on the package. If you’d rather avoid any concern about raw flour, spread the dry mix on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes, then cool completely before using.
