Ingredients

Ready to give it a try? Let me tell you what you’ll need. 

• unsalted butter – I usually use unsalted butter in my kitchen. I do this when possible to control the amount of salt in my recipes. If you only have salted butter, don’t worry, it will work fine. Just don’t add the additional salt. 
• cream cheese – Philadelphia Cream Cheese is my go-to. Their ⅓ less fat variety will work in this recipe. 
• vanilla extract and almond extract – These add that “Funfetti” or cake flavor to this dip. I especially love the almond extract in this recipe. 
• salt – Every sweet recipe needs a touch of salt to balance out the flavors. 
• confectioners’ sugar – Confectioners’ sugar adds sweetness and helps to keep this dip light and fluffy. 
• Sprinkles – I recommend these round-style sprinkles for this recipe. However, I provided a few other options in the FAQ section below. 
• Vanilla wafers, graham crackers, pretzels, and/or strawberries – Any sweet cookie or fruit will work here. My favorites were vanilla wafer cookies and strawberries. 

How To Make

This recipe is pretty straightforward. If you’ve made cream cheese frosting before, you can handle this. I’ll walk you through the steps here. I’ve also provided a full ingredient list and detailed instructions in the printable recipe card below.

1. Begin by adding the unsalted butter and cream cheese to a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer or hand mixer on medium-high until smooth and creamy. 

2. Add in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and pinch of salt. Beat to combine. 

3. Add in the confectioners’ sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until light and fluffy: about 3 minutes. 

4. Add in the sprinkles and use a spatula to mix them in. (Reserve a few sprinkles to garnish.)
5. Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with reserved sprinkles. Serve with vanilla wafer cookies, graham crackers, pretzels, and/or fresh strawberries. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare Funfetti Dip up to a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15–20 minutes before serving to soften. Give it a quick stir before digging in.

How do you store this dip?

Once prepared, you’ll want to keep this dip refrigerated. It can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days. 

Is this funfetti dip the same as Dunkaroo dip? 

I wouldn’t say that they are identical, but they are very similar. If you like Dunkaroo dip, you’ll LOVE this funfetti dip. I think of it as the gourmet version. 

What type of sprinkles can I use?

I recommend a softer sprinkle for this funfetti dip. You can use the little circle sprinkles as I did here or the longer “jimmie” style sprinkles. 

I would avoid any hard or nonpareil-style sprinkles. Not only will they add a hard texture to your dip, but they are usually coated in color which will eventually transfer off the sprinkle and into your dip.
