Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1 cup boxed Funfetti cake mix (dry, not prepared)
  • 23 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%, as needed for consistency)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus more for topping)
  • Graham crackers, for serving
  • Fresh strawberries or apple slices, for serving
  • Pretzel sticks, for serving
  • Vanilla wafers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Gently fold in whipped topping using a spatula. Blend on low speed just until incorporated.
  4. Add dry Funfetti cake mix, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract (if using). Beat on medium-low until combined and creamy. Add more milk if needed for desired consistency.
  5. Fold in rainbow sprinkles gently with a spatula.
  6. Taste and adjust with extra vanilla or a pinch of salt if desired. Adjust milk for preferred dip consistency.
  7. Transfer dip to a serving bowl and garnish with extra sprinkles.
  8. Serve chilled with graham crackers, fruit, pretzels, or vanilla wafers for dipping.

Notes

For safety, microwave dry cake mix for 1 minute to heat-treat before using. Dip thickens as it sits; add a splash of milk before serving if needed. Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. For gluten-free or dairy-free, use appropriate cake mix and substitutes. Store covered in the fridge up to 4 days.
