Dunkaroo Dip is such a sweet and creamy treat you can whip up with Funfetti mix. Just 3 ingredients to make this tasty dessert dip recipe! Goes great with some vanilla wafers or some animal crackers for dipping- just like snacking on Dunkaroos.
Dessert Dips are great for parties. We make this Dunkaroo Dip with yogurt just like our Raspberry Dip and also Orange Creamsicle Dip. I hope you try all three!
This dip is an old favorite of ours. We used to call it Funfetti Dip because it’s so easy to make with Funfetti Cake Mix but it tastes just like that delicious frosting dip that comes with Dunkaroos. Whether you’re a fan of Funfetti Dip or want to call it a Homemade Dunkaroo Dip, you’re going to love it! 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. Best of all, it only needs 3 ingredients which means it’s a breeze to whip up!

Dunkaroos Dip Ingredients
Maybe the best part about this dessert dip recipe is how you need just 3 ingredients to make it! To make this tasty Dip, here’s all you need:
- 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.
- Frozen Whipped Topping – Cool Whip or whatever the store-brand product is near you.
- Vanilla Yogurt
Of course, some rainbow sprinkles on top will really help you get that Dunkaroos or Funfetti look! The extra sprinkle garnish is completely optional though.

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:
- 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.
- Transfer Dip to fridge and allow to chill for at least 2 hours.
- 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.

Could you do this with other cake mix flavors?

Hi Laura! I was asking myself that exact same question this morning, lol. I was going to try a couple other flavors. I was thinking of trying the Strawberry Cheesecake Cake Mix that is currently on shelves. If you decide to give it a try, let me know. I will be testing it out this next weekend and will report back and share how it works out for us.
