Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cake mix
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, particularly the cream cheese and butter, to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until completely smooth and well combined, with no visible lumps.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed to prevent sugar from flying out of the bowl.
- Incorporate the dry cake mix into the mixture, stirring until fully integrated and creating a cake batter-like flavor profile.
- Add vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to enhance the overall flavor of the dip.
- Gently fold in crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Carefully fold in sprinkles, being careful not to overmix and cause the colors to bleed.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional crushed Oreos and sprinkles on top for visual appeal.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and achieve optimal texture.
- Serve chilled with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit as dipping options.
Tips
