Funfetti Dip is my go-to EASY treat whenever I need something fun and festive in a flash. I love whipping it up for kids’ birthday parties—it’s always a hit! Sometimes I even make it just for us at home, as a quick and cheerful dessert after a long day.

Funfetti Cake Batter Dip Recipe

I have to admit…bringing food to parties still makes me a little nervous. Back before I knew how to cook, I’d stress about whether people would actually eat what I brought. Now that I run a food blog, the pressure feels even bigger—like everyone expects something amazing. That’s why I’m always on the lookout for easy, fun recipes that I know will be crowd-pleasers.

This funfetti cake batter dip is exactly the kind of recipe I love bringing to a party. It’s playful, colorful, and always a hit with both kids and adults. I’ve lightened it up just enough so you can feel good about grabbing an extra scoop—and trust me, you’ll want to. It tastes just like classic funfetti cake, and it disappears fast every time I make it!

Be sure to try my Funfetti cake batter martinis for an adult-only treat or this Funfetti magic shell to top off your ice cream!

Becky’s Tips

*Cake mix contains raw flour, an ingredient that can cause foodborne illness. To heat-treat cake mix, lay it in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes.

How to Make Funfetti Dip Step by Step

Combine Cool Whip and yogurt: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 16 oz. Cool Whip and 2 cups Greek yogurt until smooth.

Add cake mix: Add in the heat-treat cake mix a little at a time until well mixed.

Add milk and sprinkles: Add in ½ cup almond milk and ¼ cup sprinkles. If you find the dip to be too thick, add more milk. You can add less milk if you prefer a stiffer consistency.

Garnish and serve: Garnish with more sprinkles. Serve with fruit, pretzels, or animal crackers for dipping.

How to Store

This cake batter dip can be made up to a day ahead of time. Because it contains dairy, keep it refrigerated until you are ready to serve it. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Serving Suggestions

I rimmed the bowl with funfetti sprinkles for a bit of added flare and to make it super festive! I like to dip soft pretzels or pretzel bites, but you can also dip chocolate chip cookies or rich mocha cookies. For a healthier option, dip fresh cut fruit.
