Four Ingredient Funfetti Cake Batter Dip

 This is the other sweet dip I made for my friends baby shower. This one was a hit, too!

from the Chunky Chef


Ingredients 

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature 
8 oz whipped topping, thawed (cool whip) 
1/3 - 2/3 cup milk, (start at 1/3 and go from there) 
1 box Funfetti cake mix, (unprepared) 
sprinkles, for garnishing


Instructions 
Heat up the cake mix before using. I recommend adding the cake mix to a microwave-safe shallow bowl and heating in 30 second increments until it reaches an internal temperature of 160-165°F.
Add whipped topping and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. 
Add cake mix and 1/3 cup milk and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. 
Dip will be very thick, so add more milk, a little at a time, until you get to your desired consistency. I used about 2/3 cup for my dip. 
Serve garnished with sprinkles and whatever dippers you prefer. Graham crackers, animal crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, fresh fruit, etc.

Brownie Batter Dip

This is one of two dips I took to a friends baby shower a few months ago. The food theme was dips, and I brought two sweet ones. They were both a hit!

Brownie Batter Dip


Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 
18.3 ounces brownie mix 
¼ cup milk 
¼ cup mini chocolate chips 
1 cup whipped topping, thawed


Instructions
Add the dry brownie mix to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, for a total of 2 minutes. Set aside. 
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese on medium-speed until smooth. 
Add the brownie mix and milk; beat until well combined and smooth. 
Gently fold in the whipped topping until completely blended. 
Fold in the chocolate chips. 
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and top with additional mini chocolate chips, if desired. 
Serve immediately with your favorite dippers, such as pretzels, graham crackers, cookies, or fruit.

Notes 
It is important to heat treat the brownie mix before beginning so that it will be safe to consume. Please do not skip this step. 
Beating the cream cheese, brownie mix and milk together first minimizes the mixing once the whipped topping is added. This will help prevent the dip from “deflating.” 
It is important to gently fold in the whipped topping so it doesn’t deflate.
