How I Make Funfetti Dip (Step-by-Step)
- Heat-Treat the Cake Mix
To make it safe to eat, I heat-treat the cake mix by microwaving it in a bowl for 1 minute, stirring halfway through. This kills any bacteria from raw flour. I let it cool completely before mixing. - Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, I combine the cooled funfetti cake mix, yogurt, and whipped topping. I stir everything together until smooth, fluffy, and well blended. - Add Extra Sprinkles
I gently fold in extra sprinkles for more color and fun (because you can never have too many sprinkles). - Chill (Optional)
If I have time, I pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let it set and chill — but it’s also delicious served right away. - Serve and Enjoy
I transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle a few more rainbow sprinkles on top, and surround it with my favorite dippers. Then I watch it disappear!
My Tips for the Best Funfetti Dip

- Use vanilla Greek yogurt if you like it a little richer and thicker.

- Add fun mix-ins like mini chocolate chips or crushed Oreos for an extra treat.
Fun Variations I’ve Tried
