Ingredients
For the Dip
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 8 ounces whipped topping, softened
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles, plus extra for garnish
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Mix: If preferred, heat-treat the dry cake mix by spreading it evenly on a baking sheet and baking at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to reduce any risk from raw flour. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cake mix with the Greek yogurt. Stir gently at first to avoid powder dispersing into the air, then mix thoroughly until smooth and uniform in texture.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Using broad, gentle strokes, fold the softened whipped topping into the cake mix mixture until fully incorporated and the dip is light and fluffy.
- Add the Sprinkles: Stir in 2 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles, reserving a small amount to garnish the top later.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
- Serve: Before serving, gently stir the dip again and sprinkle the reserved rainbow sprinkles on top. Pair with cookies, fruit, or crackers for dipping and enjoy.
Notes
- Heat-treating the cake mix is optional but recommended to eliminate any risk associated with consuming raw flour.
- Vanilla extract and powdered sugar can be added to enhance the sweetness and flavor but are not necessary.
- This dip is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
- Use a spatula to fold in the whipped topping gently to maintain the light, fluffy texture.
- Try serving with graham crackers, animal cookies, or fresh fruit slices for variety.
