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!

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.

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.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
