Funfetti Dip Recipe Steps
This recipe makes 10 servings. It takes about 5 minutes of prep time and I recommend chilling for at least 1 hour before serving (though it is delicious right after you mix it too!)
Step 1. IMPORTANT: Before you start, put the cake mix in a large microwave-safe bowl to heat treat it. Heat it in the microwave for 30 second intervals. Stir between each heat session. It will be safe to eat once it reaches 165 degrees. This should take one to two minutes.
Step 2. In the large bowl, mix the cake mix and pudding together.
Step 3. Gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture.
Step 4. Put the dip in your serving bowl and cover. Then chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until you’re ready to serve.
Step 5. Top with extra sprinkles and serve with pretzels, graham crackers, or your favorite dippers.

Tips & Tricks
- Be sure to heat treat the cake mix to kill any potential bacteria that might be in the raw flour used to make the mix. You don’t want to use raw cake mix!
- Be sure your whipped topping is thawed before making this recipe. Otherwise it will also be more challenging to mix.
- When mixing the whipped topping, be sure to use a gentle folding motion to keep its light and fluffy texture.
- You can use vanilla yogurt or vanilla Greek yogurt in place of vanilla pudding.
- You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together.
