Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 8 oz whipped topping thawed
- 15.25 oz white cake mix
- ⅓ cup milk
- ⅓ cup Easter sprinkles
- 12 cup animal crackers or graham crackers for serving
Instructions
- Cream the cream cheese: Start by adding the softened cream cheese to your mixer and beat it until smooth and fluffy. This is key for avoiding any lumps in your dip.
Tip: If you forgot to soften your cream cheese, microwave it for 10-second intervals until it’s soft but not melted. - Incorporate the whipped topping: Add the whipped topping and beat again until everything is light and well-combined. You’ll notice the texture turning velvety smooth.
- Add the cake mix and milk: Pour in the white cake mix and milk. Beat it on low speed to avoid a powdery explosion in your kitchen (trust me, I learned this the hard way). If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a little more milk, 2 tablespoons at a time. I didn’t need extra, but the consistency can vary depending on the brand of cake mix you use.
- Add the sprinkles: Gently fold in the Easter sprinkles with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the colors to bleed.
- Serve or chill: Spoon the dip into your serving dish and top with a handful of sprinkles for decoration. Serve immediately with crackers or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
How to serve this Easter dip
This dip is as much about the presentation as it is the taste. I like to spoon it into a shallow white serving dish and garnish it with extra sprinkles for that festive pop of color. Arrange a platter of dippable goodies around the bowl—animal crackers, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, and fresh fruit like strawberries or apple slices. If you’re hosting a brunch, consider pairing it with a tray of Easter-themed sugar cookies for a whimsical touch.
