Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt (227g) or 8-oz. cream cheese, for thicker dip
1/2 cup rainbow cake mix (64g)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (45g)
1/4 cup zero-calorie sweetener (48g) of choice, or sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp liquid stevia or other sweetener until desired sweetness
2 Tbsp rainbow sprinkles (24g)

Instructions

To heat treat cake mix, add the cake mix to a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, until the cake mix temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) with an instant read thermometer. Mix with a spoon in between intervals. Each microwave is different, but mine takes about 3 intervals. Once heat treated, let cake mix cool.
Add the yogurt (or cream cheese), rainbow cake mix, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla and stevia. Beat with a hand mixer for 2-3 minutes or until smooth.
Test the batter and add more sweetener, if desired. Fold in the sprinkles.
Store in the fridge for 1-2 hours or in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving. The longer it sits, the more the flavors come together, and the better it is! Best if made a day in advance and stored in the fridge overnight.
Serve with dippers like animal crackers, pretzels, apples, graham crackers, or cookies and enjoy!

Notes

Store: Keep cookie dough dip stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or frozen for up to 3 months. To defrost, place airtight container in the fridge overnight.

To make gluten-free: use a gluten-free cake mix

Ingredient Notes:

Protein Powder: The protein powder is added for a protein boost. If you don't want to add it, you don't have to. It does, however, provide some sweetness and flavor to the dip, so if you decide to omit, I would give the dip a taste and add a little more sweetener or cake mix as needed.

Liquid stevia: I highly recommend liquid stevia for this recipe. It blends amazingly with the yogurt/cream cheese to bring a more well rounded sweet flavor. But again, you can sub with your favorite sweetener if needed. Just add a little at a time and taste until you find the sweet spot!

Vanilla extract: I'll use clear vanilla extract if I have it to keep this dip more white in color. But regular vanilla works just fine too! Just make sure its pure vanilla extract, not imitation vanilla :)
