Ingredients and Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need for this patriotic dessert dip:

• 1 box white cake mix (15.25 to 16.25 oz): Optional but recommended — bake the dry mix at 350°F for 5 mins to kill any bacteria from raw flour.
• 1¼ cups vanilla yogurt: Adds tang and creaminess. You can substitute Greek yogurt for extra protein and a thicker texture.
• 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip: Light, fluffy, and makes the dip irresistibly airy.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract: Rounds out the sweetness with classic cake batter flavor.
• ⅓ cup red, white, and blue sprinkles, plus more for topping: Use “jimmies” to prevent color bleed. Avoid shaped sprinkles or nonpareils that melt into the mix.

Want a natural twist? Use dye-free sprinkles — they’re festive and additive-conscious.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s make magic happen in minutes:

Optional Safety Step: Spread the dry cake mix on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes. Let cool completely. This helps eliminate any risks associated with raw flour.

Mix It Up: In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, yogurt, vanilla extract, and Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.

Fold in the Fun: Gently fold in the red, white, and blue sprinkles. Be delicate — overmixing can cause the colors to bleed.

Chill: Let the dip rest in the refrigerator for at least 20–30 minutes to thicken and develop flavor.

Serve and Celebrate: Spoon into a festive bowl and sprinkle with more patriotic sprinkles!

Recipe Tips

• Bake that Mix: Always heat-treat cake mix to ensure it’s safe to eat.
• Choose Your Sprinkles Wisely: Stick to American-made “jimmies” for the best results. Nonpareils and shaped sprinkles tend to bleed.
• Make it Holiday-Ready: Switch up the sprinkles for Halloween, Christmas, or birthdays.
• Chill Time Matters: Letting it sit even 20 minutes improves both taste and texture.
• Naturally Colorful: Look for natural sprinkles if avoiding artificial dyes.
