The Best Dunkaroo Dip

If you grew up in the ’90s, Dunkaroos are probably a fond memory. This homemade cake-batter dip captures that same fun, nostalgic flavor and texture. It’s incredibly easy to make—just combine a handful of ingredients, chill briefly, and serve.

Ingredients

This recipe is quick and requires just four ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 (15.25 oz) box Funfetti cake mix
  • 1 1/3 cups (about 326 g) vanilla yogurt
  • 2 cups Cool Whip (or other whipped topping)
  • Rainbow sprinkles

If you can’t find Funfetti cake mix, a white or yellow cake mix works fine—the flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

How to Make Dunkaroo Dip

This yields a large bowl of dip—perfect for parties. The process is three easy steps: heat treat the cake mix, combine the ingredients, then chill.

Step 1: Heat-Treat the Cake Mix

Cake mix contains raw flour, which can harbor bacteria, so heat-treat it before using. Place the dry cake mix in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mix reaches 160–165°F (about three to four intervals). Alternatively, spread the mix on a baking sheet and heat in a 350°F oven until it reaches the same temperature. Let the mix cool slightly before using.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

Once the cake mix has cooled a bit, combine it with the vanilla yogurt and Cool Whip in a large bowl. Stir until smooth and fully combined, then gently fold in rainbow sprinkles for color and texture.

Step 3: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the dip for about an hour to allow it to thicken. You can serve it right away, but chilling gives it a creamier, more scoopable texture. Serve with your favorite dunkers and enjoy.

How to Store Dunkaroo Dip

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, the dip will keep well for up to a week. Stir briefly before serving if separation occurs.
