This Skinny Funfetti Cake Batter Dip is so good you won’t even know it’s skinny 🙂
I wanted to make a lighter dip for our New Year’s Eve party, and was debating between a Skinny Funfetti Cake Batter Dip or a Cookie Dough Dip made with garbanzo beans. I opted for the skinny funfetti dip and I know I made the right decision. I feel like the other would have just tasted like hummus with chocolate chips. Bleh.
Besides, you can never go wrong with Funfetti ANYTHING. Am I right?
You won’t believe how easy this dip is. You’re only three ingredients away from making it! Yogurt, Cool Whip (or whipped cream), and cake mix! Mix it up, chill it, and serve with lots of fresh fruit or vanilla wafer cookies!
I first saw this dip over Eat Yourself Skinny and had to give it a try. I adapted it just slightly and started playing with different flavors of cake batter! You can’t go wrong with the cake mix flavor– Chocolate, Spice Cake, Butter Pecan, Strawberry! It’s all so good!
This stuff is thick, creamy, and oh so cake-battery. Tell me which ones you try and which ones you love!!
Then just dip your way through it with some low fat vanilla wafers or graham crackers, or pretzels, or a spoon.
I’ll chunky dunk my way through this skinny dip any day!

YESSSSS!!! I love dips. Can’t wait to try this version and avoid the healthy other dip. GAG
Skinny Funfetti Dip are three words that I need in my life right now. skinny recipes of any kind, funfetti EVERYTHING, and I’m a suck for any kind of dip. this is right up my alley Kristy!! I’m pretty sure everything is better with sprinkles. Chunky dunk- yes!
Oh, I have to try this soon! I love dessert dips!
The Dip is Awesome! Also good with Animal Crackers!!!
Thanks Jenny! Glad you liked it!
I love this! I need to make some skinny dips. Then when I eat the whole thing I’m not upset, lol. And I’m with you…the chickpea thing freaks me out a little…
Simple and looks fabulous !
Yeah – chickpeas don’t belong in a dessert in my opinion! But this – I’m sure I’d love it!
recently made this, and loooooved it!
ps. good to know about the chickpeas, I’ve seen that before and wondered!
i’m so glad you liked it!!
could I use plain greek yogurt?
Yes, absolutely!
Can’t wait to make this for Super Bowl on Sunday! And another *agree* on the chickpeas. The ‘healthy peanut butter fudge’ I recently made with chickpeas was awful!! 🙁 This, on the other hand, looks fabulous!!!
I also made the chickpea dip recently and had the same experience. I just kept adding brown sugar until it tasted good! But that probably took away from its “healthy” status. 🙂
I’ve made this dip and it is super tasty! I’ve seen the recipe for the chick pea dip and wondered how it would be…I make chocolate chip cookies that have whole chick peas in them and my family really likes them. Good luck on bringing more chick peas into your desserts 🙂
Just made this! Its wonderful!
Glad you liked it!! thanks for taking the time to tell me:)
I made this and really liked it. My faux pas was that I used nonfat vanilla yogurt instead, thinking it would be tastier. It made it super sweet. So the plain is definitely the way to go.
Incidentally, I liked the cookie dough dip I tried a while back, but it is off-putting when you KNOW its chickpeas. I think if someone gave it to me and I didn’t know, I would really like it.
This looks yummy, but how is this a skinny dip when it has a whole box of cake mix in it?
Well, it’s “skinnier” than what it could be….that’s all really!
Totally agree. It’s def not a “clean” dip that’s for sure…
It’s just a lighter calorie cake batter dip…i know it’s not really healthy or “clean” and I didn’t mean to portray it as such. But some people do like lighter calorie recipes like these.
I make mine with greek yogurt and I add in cream cheese. I really just make the dip to my tastes I don’t measure anything.
Made this last night (thanks to Pinterest for the find). Delicious!! Can’t believe how light it is looking at the calories of all the ingredients! Pretzels were a great dipper 🙂
I haven’t made this, but want to! Would it be good with low fat vanilla yogurt? Or should I stick to plain? Does the cake mix add enough sweetness and flavor?
Yeah the cake mix adds enough sweetness, I think at least! And you can use low fat vanilla yogurt, it would probably taste even better!
So good! I used animal crackers and decided to try sandwich-ing and then freezing them, everyone loved the cool treats!

Boxed cake mix contains raw flour which carries the same risks as raw eggs (salmonella). You’re doing your visitors no favors.
BOOOO…Debbie Downer…
Hi! This looks delicious, and I can’t wait to try it, but I was wondering on what the shelf life might be for it, as in, do you make it right before serving, or is it something I can put in a jar as a gift as long as it stays refrigerated?
We refrigerated it for a few hours before serving and kept it in the fridge for a couple of days in an airtight container and it’s great!
What would you substitute if you don’t like yogurt or do you think it would be fine without it?
I got vanilla yogurt, do you think wil be ok or too vanilla-y?
This is good for special occasions like a kids birthday, but it is definately far from ‘skinny’. Especially with pro essed cake mix….
Looks delish! Do you by any chance know how many weight watchers points are in this dip? I’m sure I could figure it out if not when I make it !!
Oh my goodness this is amazing! I made this instead of a funfetti cheese ball to try to stick to weight watchers during a cookout where I will have little control (2 points per ounce for this one!)…my husband, who used to eat cans of frosting in college but is now a super health nut, said this tastes exactly like frosting you could use on a cake! Thank you for sharing this recipe with the world!!!
If you really want it to taste like cake batter try adding 1tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp almond extract.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED the chickpea cookie dough dip.
I am in love with the recipe! It was a HUGE hit when I made it! Thanks for sharing it!
I normally never post links when I comment but I just did a blog post about this on my blog and I’ll leave the link to it if you want to check it out.

What a fantastic idea to make this a SKINNY dip!
I truly love your blog.. Excellent colors & theme.
Did you build this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m looking
to create my very own site and want to find out where you got this from or exactly
what the theme is named. Kudos!
I believe that is among the so much vital info for me. And i am glad
studying your article. But wanna remark on few
basic things, The site style is great, the articles is truly
great : D. Excellent process, cheers
I just made this for the “Dip Day” we had at work, since all my co-workers were bringing in savory dips. Everyone is on a diet, so I tried to find a dip recipe that was light, yet sweet (because we all have a sweet tooth, also). The only change I made was instead of 2 cups of plain non-fat yogurt, I used 1 cup of plain and 1 cup of vanilla non-fat yogurt, I thought maybe all that plain yogurt would be a bit too tangy. Well, it was fabulous and was gone before lunchtime! Thank you!
glad you liked it!!
