Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine the Cake Mix and Pudding

In a medium mixing bowl, pour in the dry Funfetti cake mix and the vanilla pudding cups. You don’t need to prepare the cake mix or pudding cups, just add them directly to the bowl. This combination gives the dip a wonderful, sweet flavor and a soft, creamy texture.

2. Add the Cool Whip

Next, take the carton of Cool Whip and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend everything together until smooth and fully combined. The Cool Whip will lighten the texture of the dip and give it a velvety smooth finish.

3. Stir in the Sprinkles

Once your dip is nice and creamy, it’s time to fold in the sprinkles. Gently mix in the rainbow sprinkles using a spoon or spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the sprinkles intact for that colorful, fun effect. The sprinkles will give the dip a cheerful pop of color that is perfect for any occasion.

4. Chill and Serve

After everything is mixed together, cover the bowl and let the dip chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and ensures that the dip sets to the perfect consistency. You can even make this dip a day ahead of time, which makes it an excellent option for party prep.

Once chilled, serve the Funfetti Dip in a large bowl with your choice of dippers, such as graham crackers, pretzels, or fruit. The dip also pairs wonderfully with mini cookies or even a spoon for easy scooping!

How to Serve Funfetti Dip

Funfetti Dip is an incredibly versatile treat that can be served in many different ways, depending on the occasion and the crowd you’re catering to. Here are some ideas for serving:

1. With Graham Crackers

Graham crackers are a classic dipper and offer a perfect balance to the creamy sweetness of the Funfetti Dip. Break them into smaller pieces for easy scooping!

2. With Pretzels

The salty crunch of pretzels is a great contrast to the sweet, creamy dip. This sweet-and-salty combo will be a hit with your guests.

3. With Fresh Fruit

For a slightly healthier option, serve the dip with sliced fruit like apples, strawberries, or bananas. The freshness of the fruit complements the richness of the dip.

4. With Mini Cookies

Small cookies, such as vanilla wafers or animal crackers, make the perfect dipping companion. You can also use mini chocolate chip cookies or sugar cookies for extra sweetness.

5. On Its Own

If you’re feeling indulgent, this dip is so delicious you might just want to eat it straight from the bowl with a spoon. Go ahead, it’s that good!

Storing Funfetti Dip

• Leftovers: If you have any dip left over (which is rare!), store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dip will stay fresh and creamy, though the sprinkles may lose their brightness over time.
• Make Ahead: You can make Funfetti Dip up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the fridge. The flavors will have more time to meld, making it even more delicious!
