This easy 3-Ingredient Dunkaroo Dip is a fun, nostalgic dessert made with just a few simple ingredients. Creamy, sweet, and packed with colorful sprinkles, this homemade Dunkaroo dip is perfect for kids, parties, snacks, or an easy no-bake dessert. Serve it with animal crackers, Teddy Grahams, or fresh fruit for a fun treat everyone will love.

Fellow millennials who grew up on Dunkaroos: you have to try this Homemade 3-Ingredient Dunkaroo Dip.

We had such fun food growing up. Twinkies. Hostess cupcakes. Pizza lunchables. And of course, Dunkaroos.

If you’re thinking, “ugh, those foods were so bad for you,” then you’re partially right. And wrong.

Nope, they were not the most nutritious foods in the world. That’s just an objective fact. Twinkies don’t have the vitamins, minerals, and fiber that an apple has.

But does that make these foods “bad?” Hardly.

They were delicious. And now, they’re nostalgic. I’m guessing they invoke some fun memory from childhood.

And, one food will not make or break your health. Single foods just aren’t that powerful! Unless your diet is Dunkaroos and solely Dunkaroos, some Dunkaroos here or there really aren’t going to affect your health much.

I’ve officially said the word Dunkaroo too much and now it sounds weird.

Anyway, you will love Homemade Dunkaroo Dip. It’s soooo good and so easy to make. It’s technically ready in just a few minutes, but there’s a bit of prep work to heat treat the flour first.

This is a must! I’m all for eating raw cookie dough and cake batter, but raw flour can pose a safety hazard. And it’s super easy to heat treat in the oven quickly before using.

Why You’ll Love This 3-Ingredient Dunkaroo Dip

This dip is so easy to make. It truly only has 3 main ingredients.

It makes a flavorful, delicious, and nostalgic snack. This is such a dream for millennials!

Pair this dip with a fun cracker, like graham crackers, teddy grahams, or animal crackers. Or have it with fruit like apple slices, strawberries, or pineapple.

This Homemade Dunkaroo Dip is delicious no matter how you do it.

How to Make 3-Ingredient Dunkaroo Dip

Preheat oven

Prepare your ingredients for this 3-Ingredient Dunkaroo Dip. You’ll need: 1 box white Funfetti cake mix, 1 container of Cool Whip, 1 cup full-fat vanilla yogurt and rainbow sprinkles.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Heat treat the flour: spread Funfetti mix evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes (you can stir the flour gently halfway through), until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 F.

If You Love This 3-Ingredient Dunkaroo Dip, Try These

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Cake mix: Nothing fancy needed. This cake mix is what gives the dip its funfetti flavor.
  • Cool whip: I recommend a large tub of Cool Whip that’s been in the fridge to thaw – make sure it’s not frozen.
  • Yogurt: Full-fat vanilla yogurt will work best in this recipe. If needed, a lower fat vanilla yogurt is okay too.
  • Sprinkles: Non-pareil sprinkles are best in this recipe. I’ve had this large tub for a while and it’s great to keep on hand anytime you need sprinkles! Make sure to fold them in gently and avoid over-mixing as the colors will bleed easily.

3-Ingredient Dunkaroo Dip Notes

  • Heat treating the flour: This step is a must in order to make the cake mix safe to eat raw (yes, raw flour isn’t safe to eat!).
  • Texture: For a slightly thinner and smoother texture, add more yogurt. I like full vanilla fat yogurt for the flavor it provides.
  • Storage: This 3-Ingredient Dunkaroo Dip is best served soon after making. To store it, put it in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll stay good for about 2-3 days (if you don’t want to make as much at a time, simply cut the recipe in half).

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Because cake mix contains raw flour, it should be heat treated before eating. Bake it at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until it reaches 160°F internally.

Yes. You can make it a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. The dip is best served the same day, but it will keep in an airtight container for about 2–3 days.

Yes! Greek yogurt will work, although it may make the dip slightly thicker and tangier. You can add a little extra yogurt as needed to get your preferred consistency.

Animal crackers, Teddy Grahams and graham crackers are great for that classic Dunkaroo feel. You can also serve it with fresh fruit like strawberries, apple slices or pineapple.

Fold the sprinkles in gently right before serving and avoid overmixing. The more you stir, the more likely the colors are to bleed into the dip.
