Dunkaroo Dip {Cake Batter Dip}
Dunkaroo Dip {Cake Batter Dip} recipe is the easiest dessert dip there is and made with just four simple ingredients. It is perfect to serve at a party and tastes just like the beloved Dunkaroos snack we all loved as kids!
Has everyone tried some sort of variety of the sinfully delicious cake batter dip by now? There are a million and one variations of that dip going around and I thought it would be the perfect Valentine’s day treat for kids or adults. The first time I had cake batter dip, I couldn’t help but think that it tasted EXACTLY like the Dunkaroo snacks my mom used to put in my lunch as a little kid. It was always a good day to find one of those in my lunch! This Dunkaroo Dip is inspired from that very same snack!
So, today is a throwback to the good ol’ 90’s (which I actually loved – don’t judge me). In honor of the good old days, I’m naming this one Dunkaroo dip.
This is the perfect snack/dessert to serve at a birthday party, baby shower, holiday, or any other excuse you can find to make it. I love that it only takes 5 minutes to make – can I get an amen? If you are all about Valentine’s day dips you must try my Red Velvet Oreo Cookie Dip or Monster Cookie Dough Dip.
Don’t forget to load this Dunkaroo Dip up with tons and tons of sprinkles because it’s just more fun that way. Enjoy!
Be sure to check out my step-by-step video above on how to make this nostalgic Dunkaroo Dip!
- 1 box Funfetti cake mix
- 1⅓ cup vanilla yogurt
- 2 cups Cool Whip
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles, for garnish
- Mix all of the ingredients (except for the extra sprinkles) together in a bowl until completely combined and no lumps remain.
- Chill in refrigerator for at least two hours (dip will be too soft without doing this step).
- Garnish with extra sprinkles for a pretty presentation.
- Serve with animal crackers, teddy grahams, pretzels, graham crackers, apples or Nilla Wafers. Using a variety of dippers would be the best option. Enjoy!
I used to LOVE eating Dunkaroos growing up! Forget the cookie parts – it was all about the frosting. Am I right? Love this dip – what an awesome nostalgic treat!
This totally takes me back to my childhood! I used to LOVE Dunkaroos!!
This looks so delicious and yummy ♥

My 4 year old is freaking out over this. I guess we will be making it very soon!
I bet the kids love this!
I loved the 90’s too, no judgement! I’ve never had Dunkaroos though? I bet yours is so much better! And prettier 🙂
I used to love Dunkaroos so much! This looks amazing! I would eat the whole bowl though 😉
Haha, totally more fun with sprinkles!
Growing up, my mom would never allow me to have dunkaroos. At least as an adult I can make them myself. Thanks for the recipe!!
omgeee I used to love Dunkaroo Dip! This is a life changer!
I miss Dunkaroos! I can’t believe that it’s been so long since I’ve had it, I need this Dunkaroo Dip in my life asap!! Yes and extra Extra sprinkles make everything better
I’d totally dive into a bowl of that!
I love easy recipes and this looks fantastic! I love the name Dunkaroo too, what a great memory, thanks for sharing!
I don’t know what’s a Dunkaroo but this looks luscious and delicious!
I don’t know Dunkaroo, either, but I love the name and this dip. And I love the 90s, too! Nothing wrong with that. 😀
Gahhhhhhhhh! I freaking love love love dunkaroos! I found them a few years ago at Costco and I freaking out because I wanted to by the whole lot and eat them for every single meal. Now that I can’t find them I’m all about this homemade dip! Pass me the bowl please 🙂
Oh wow. We made this recently and it was sooo good! I guess there was a reason for the small portion size of dunkaroos back in my school lunch days. Turns out it is quite addicting, because I ate about half of this recipe in one sitting.
Didn’t want to share with the kids!
wondering A) replacement for cool whip and B) how long it keeps? anyone?
No chocolate dunkaroo recipe? That’s my fav
Use a chocolate cake mix. Regualar ole chocolate. And it helps if you can find the chocolate cool whip, if not, regular works just fine.
Can I make my own chocolate cake batter (like homemade) and use that in place of the funfetti to make the chocolate dunkaroos?
Ty sooo much for posting this. I’m so excited to share another piece of my childhood with my little boy:)
Yes I’m sure that would work just fine! Thanks, Kristy!!
This looks fantastic and easy to make.
I recommend dunking away. This is good stuff!
Total thowback to the 90s and this 90s girl LOVES it. Such a great dip.
Oh lord, I’m doomed lol!
This is perfect party dip!
So I just made this but made some modifications to the recipe because the finished product wasn’t as sweet as the frosting I remember.
I added about another two teaspoons of imitation vanilla extract (I wanted to get the authentic chemically taste so I used this instead of the real kind, it did not work unfortunately) to bring more of that flavor. I thought the vanilla yogurt would help sweeten everything up but it didn’t so I added a good does of honey to get the sugary flavor and it worked out pretty well.
Its not the exact frosting I remember as a kid but I really appreciate the ability to find the recipe so I can relive my childhood memories.
This looks amazing and I am thinking about making this for my son’s classroom for his birthday celebration. Do you know how long this will keep at room temperature? What about freezing it? I drop him off at school at 7:40 AM and his class won’t eat the treat until around 11:45 AM.
I feel like it would get too melty being left out that long. Sorry! Freezing it changes the texture so I wouldn’t do that.
Closest thing to the dunkaroo dip
Hello Ashley, Doesn’t taste exactly like what I remember Dunkaroo’s dip tasting like, but it taste similar and is very good! I will definitely be making it in the future for parties. Super easy and yummy!
Is the cool whip 16oz or two cups measured out? I used two cups, which is less than one 8oz container and it doesn’t taste that good.
After making this recipe its no wonder I was fat as a kid…I cant get enough! I had hoped it would taste more icing like because the yogurt was very dominant in mine but maybe I messed up. Be really awesome if there was a vegan recipe for this!
OMG my kids gonna love this dunkaroo dip <3 thanks a lot
How long does this keep for in the fridge?
is there any extra step to take with the cake mix? what if flour inside mix is contaminated? i’m just worried about raw cake mix! thank you!
I’m pregnant and had the same fear so I cooked my cake mix before making this. Just spread out on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 5 mins.
Tried the cream cheese version of this recipe and HATED it, tried this one and it was perfect! I only did cake mix, yogurt and whipped topping and it turned out AMAZING! Just like I remembered as a kid 🥰
I have been making this dip for my kids last 3-4 months and they have become a fan. Three days back was my son’s birthday and I made this dip for the party. Kids and even elders really loved it. And I thought I should thank you for this as it was all because of you.
That’s so nice of you to tell me!! Thank you!
