- Funfetti cake mix- You can use any cake mix, I used the Pillsbury funfetti cake mix for this specific recipe.

This is how you can make this funfetti creamy dip. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed instructions!
Step 1: Heat Treat the Cake Mix
- Since raw flour in cake mix can contain bacteria, it’s important to heat treat it first:
- Oven Method – Bake at 350°F for 5 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Microwave Method – Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches 165°F. Let it cool before using.
Step 2: Mix Everything Together
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and Cool Whip until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and Funfetti cake mix. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and chill for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Add Sprinkles and Serve
- Once chilled, top with extra sprinkles and serve with your favorite dippers.
