Skinny Funfetti Cake Batter Dip Recipe posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email Jump to Recipe This Skinny Funfetti Cake Batter Dip uses greek yogurt in place of butter and sugar. It’s like eating cake batter straight from the mixing bowl. YES. Uh, yeah. It’s another skinny batter dip. It’s a little redundant, I know. But I have a good reason: I will never post a skinny dessert recipe on this blog unless it TASTES LIKE DESSERT! I did a lot of “skinny” dessert testing in December. Really, I just wanted to have some great recipes that would fit in with your (and my) 2014 healthy eating resolutions. And I was disappointed to find a lot of great skinny dessert recipes that do not taste anything like dessert. In the end, I found an oatmeal recipe I really liked and this Skinny Funfetti Cake Batter Dip. And you know it’s good, because it passed the I-have-a-ridiculous-sweet-tooth test! Truth be told, I was a little underwhelmed with the dip immediately after making it. But after it chilled overnight in my refrigerator, it was seriously unbelievable! I couldn’t believe what a difference the chill time made. Instead of tasting like a bunch of separate ingredients (which still tasted okay), it actually tasted like CAKE BATTER and was absolutely delicious!! As you can see in the photos, the only downside to overnight chilling is that the sprinkles bleed quite a bit. I solved this (to my satisfaction, anyway) by simply adding more sprinkles after the dip was poured into its serving bowl. You could also easily avoid this pitfall by using a white cake mix in place of the Funfetti cake mix, and then adding sprinkles just before serving. Enjoy! Continue to Content Skinny Funfetti Cake Batter Dip Yield: 20 Print Ingredients 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt (I prefer Chobani) 16 ounces Cool Whip lite/free/sugar free 1/2 cup - 1 cup milk (skim or almond) 15.25 ounces Funfetti or white cake mix Sprinkles for garnish Instructions In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and the cool whip until completely incorporated. Whisk in the cake mix in 1/4 cup increments, whisking in between each addition. As the mixture becomes stiff, add 1/4 cup of milk at a time (alternately with the cake mix) to thin it out to a desired consistency*. STRONGLY SUGGEST chilling the dip over night (covered). Garnish with sprinkles just before serving with pretzels, apples, graham crackers, etc... Notes *I used 1 cup, but you may prefer your dip to be thicker than I did, which I why I don't recommend pouring in the entire cup of milk from the start.

Skinny is great, especially if it tastes like the real deal or a real dessert. I dont want skinny if it tastes like beans in brownies, you know what I mean 🙂 pinned Reply
This sounds amazing! I can’t do the skinny desserts that don’t taste good…why even bother! Thanks for the tip to chill…although I don’t know if I will be able to wait that long 🙂 Reply
I agree. Dessert must taste like dessert–skinny or not. This really looks amazing. I loved the pb yogurt dip you made. I eat it all the time, either as a dip or by the spoonful. I can’t wait to give this a whirl. Happy New Year! Pinned. Reply
I’m totally with you. To be honest, when I see “skinny desserts”, I don’t even bother because, um hello?! So I’m totally taking your word on this and going to try it out. I do love all things cake batter! Reply
I just made this today with my daughter and it’s great! So happy to find a skinny recipe that tastes as good as the real stuff! Reply
Do you have any idea what this would taste like with gluten free cake mix? I would hate to spend the money on a mix and it doesn’t work well with the other ingredients. Thanks! Reply
No clue. But if you’re willing to be the guinea pig, be sure to come back and comment to let us all know! 🙂 Reply

Do you have any other suggestions on what to serve this with? Would any other fruits besides apples taste good with it? I plan on making this for a friend’s birthday next week and I want to give her a lot of options. Thanks! This looks great! Reply
