ThisFunfetti Dip tastes like cake batter, but is made without cake mix! Loaded with sprinkles, this light and fluffy dip is the perfect party dessert!

When I was testing this recipe, I combined butter, cream cheese, pudding mix, vanilla, and almond extract in a bowl…then I almost stopped there…but I’m SO glad I didn’t.

I thoughtmaybethe dip was a little bit too thick so I decided to stir in an entire tub of cool whip…obviously. 😉 Then I finished it off with a ton of sprinkles. And this magical dessert dip was born!

This funfetti cake batter dip is perfectly sweet, oh-so-fluffy, and ultra-creamy. Serve it up with some nilla wafers and it’s a cake batter lovers dream come true!

Ingredients

This combination of ingredients makes the lightest, fluffiest, sweetest, creamiest dessert dipof all time!

• Butter and Cream Cheese– the base of the dip. Provide a creamy texture and buttery, yet tangy taste.
• Sugar– cuts the rich butter and tangy cream cheese with sweetness.
• Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix– adds the vanilla cake flavor.
• Vanilla Extract and Almond Extract– adds to the vanilla cake flavor, especially the almond extract!
• Salt– cuts the sweetness from the sugar and pudding mix.
• Sprinkles– because what’s funfetti without a TON of sprinkles? 😉
• Cool Whip– makes it extra light and fluffy.
• Nilla Wafers– for serving.

How to make

Sweet treats don’t get any easier than this!

1. Use a hand-mixer to beat together butter and cream cheese.
2. Add in sugar, pudding mix, vanilla and almond extract, and salt.
3. Beat in sprinkles.
4. Fold in cool whip until well combined then serve and enjoy!

Can you use homemade whipped cream?

I don’t recommend using homemade whipped cream in this dip, because it will likely deflate. If you’re absolutely against using store-bought cool whip, try making your own homemade cool whip instead.

Cool whip holds up better than whipped cream, because of the stabilizers, so I highly recommend following the recipe as directed. Even if you think you don’t like cool whip, you can’t really taste it in this dip, but it provides a necessary fluffy texture.

Variations

I LOVE this funfetti cake batter dip as-is, but if you want to switch it up here are some possible variations!

• Other flavors. Try my hot chocolate cheesecake dip or chocolate chip cookie dough dip.
• Additional Mix-Ins.Crushed oreos, chocolate chips, white chocolate chunks, etc.

What to serve with funfetti dip

• Cookies.Nilla wafers, golden Oreos, etc.
• Crackers.Graham crackers, animal crackers, or pretzels.
• Fruit.Strawberries, apple slices, pineapple, or grapes.

You can also just eat it by the spoonful which is often my preferred method. 😉

How to store

Store any leftover cake dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
