Funfetti Cream Cheese Ball Dip

So, if you’ve explored the cookie dough dips on this site, you know I’m all about dessert dips. Savory dips are perfect before the food, but why stop there? Load up the dessert table with sweet dips!

This cake batter cheese ball dip is perfect for birthday parties. You can change the color of the sprinkles or other events, too. In fact, you can even change the flavor of cake mix to experiment with flavor and color combos.

You can make this easy cheese ball quickly, but it does require at least two hours of chilling time. Get it ready the day before your event, or even freeze it to thaw out a couple of days before you need it.

Birthday Cream Cheese Ball Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make this easy dip recipe. The measurements are in the recipe card below.

• Cream cheese: I use my favorite brand of cream cheese when it’s the main ingredient in a recipe. Use a brand you know always tastes the best. You want it to be softened.
• Unsalted butter: Also a main ingredient, so I choose my favorite tasting brand. The butter also needs to be softened for this recipe.
• Vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar
• Funfetti cake mix: A standard size box of Funfetti cake mix which is easily found at most grocery stores. You can also buy a store brand, rainbow chip, or anything similar. Have you seen all the different Funfetti options lately?!
• Sprinkles: Use any color of sprinkles you like. To keep the birthday cake and Funfetti theme, use rainbow sprinkles.

Use a hand or stand mixer to beat together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth.

Add in the powdered sugar and cake mix and blend until well combined.

Stir in one tablespoon of the sprinkles.

Scoop the cheese ball mixture into the middle of a piece of plastic wrap. Cover it and roll it into a ball.

Refrigerate for at least two hours, or until firm.

Once you are ready to serve, place the rest of the sprinkles onto a plate. Remove the plastic wrap from the cheese ball and roll it into the sprinkles to evenly coat it.

Serve immediately with graham crackers, pretzels, cookies, or your favorite choice of dippers.
