- 120g (1 cup) yellow cake mix (heat-treated, see instructions)

- 50g (¼ cup) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 40g (¼ cup) rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Heat-Treat the Cake Mix
To ensure the cake mix is safe to eat, heat-treat it to kill any potential bacteria:
- Spread the cake mix on a baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 5 minutes.
- Let it cool completely before using.
Step 2: Make the Dip
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat again until well combined.
- Slowly add the heat-treated cake mix, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Stir in the rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to overmix, as they may bleed into the dip.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with extra sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Serve with graham crackers, animal crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or fresh fruit.
