Description
Red Velvet Dip is a no-bake, creamy dessert dip made with red velvet cake mix, cream cheese, and whipped topping, offering all the nostalgic flavor of red velvet cake in a quick and easy spreadable form.
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 2–4 tbsp milk or heavy cream (optional, for thinning)
- 2–4 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Heat treat the red velvet cake mix by microwaving it in a microwave-safe bowl for 30–60 seconds, stirring halfway through. Let it cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooled cake mix to the cream cheese and mix until fully combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping until the dip is light and fluffy.
- If needed, add milk or heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, to reach desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with powdered sugar if desired. Add vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and chill for 20–30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Always heat treat the cake mix before using to make it safe to eat raw.
- For a richer flavor, add mini chocolate chips or a tablespoon of cocoa powder.
- Customize with festive toppings like sprinkles, crushed cookies, or nuts.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and stir before re-serving.
