This delicious dessert dip is so rich and creamy with tons of smooth vanilla flavor added in- great for dipping cookies or maybe even some fruits.

Dunkaroo Dip Ingredients.
  • Funfetti Cake Mix – If you’re worried about raw flour in the cake mix, you can microwave it for 90 seconds, whisking every 15-30 seconds to make sure it cooks evenly.

How to make Dunkaroo Dip

Once you’ve got your ingredients around, making this Dunkaroo or Funfetti Dip is super easy. Here’s all you’ll have to do:

  1. To a large bowl, add your cake mix, vanilla yogurt and briefly mix to combine. Add in Cool Whip and fold together with cake mix and yogurt mixture.
  2. Transfer Dip to fridge and allow to chill for at least 2 hours.
  3. Move finished dessert dip into serving bowl and optionally top with sprinkles. Serve with vanilla wafers, graham crackers, and/or animal crackers.

Substitutions

Can’t find the ingredients for our dip recipe? Here’s a few substitutions you can give try:

  • Funfetti Cake Mix – If you don’t specifically have the Pillsbury Funfetti mix sitting around, you can still make this recipe! Funfetti is really just a vanilla white cake mix with some rainbow jimmies or sprinkles mixed in. Just use white cake mix and maybe a little added vanilla extract in a pinch.
  • Frozen Whipped Topping – We always have plenty of Cool Whip on hand, but you don’t need it to make our Dunkaroo Dip. Whip up some cold heavy cream from scratch and use it in Cool Whip’s place.
  • Vanilla Yogurt – Don’t have any vanilla yogurt on hand? We’ve got a few substitutions you can use. Either add a bit of vanilla extract to some plain yogurt or use a vanilla pudding instead.

Variations

Looking for ways to change this recipe up? Here’s a couple you can try based on other Dunkaroo flavors:

  • Chocolate Dunkaroos Dip – Dunkaroos don’t just come with vanilla frosting dip- they also sell Dunkaroos with chocolate frosting dip! Replace the Funfetti with a fudge or chocolate cake mix and use chocolate pudding or yogurt instead of vanilla. Serve with your favorite vanilla wafers or maybe use some graham crackers instead.
  • Chocolate Chip Dunkaroos Dip – Another elusive Dunkaroo flavor is the chocolate Dunkaroos with the chocolate chip dip. Sub out the Funfetti mix with butter or white cake mix and add in some mini chocolate chips. Serve up with some chocolate wafers or cookies.

Storage / Freezing

Storage: Once you’re done enjoying your Dunkaroos Dip, you can store it in the fridge. Sealed tightly with plastic wrap or in a resealable container, it should stay good for 1-2 weeks.

Freezing: Freezing is better if you want to store Dunkaroo Dip long-term. Seal it up tightly and keep in the freezer for 2-3 months.

Top tip

If you’re worried about raw flour in the cake mix, you can microwave it for 90 seconds, whisking every 15-30 seconds to make sure it cooks evenly.
