Birthday Cream Cheese Ball Recipe Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make this easy dip recipe. The measurements are in the recipe card below.
- Cream cheese: I use my favorite brand of cream cheese when it’s the main ingredient in a recipe. Use a brand you know always tastes the best. You want it to be softened.
- Unsalted butter: Also a main ingredient, so I choose my favorite tasting brand. The butter also needs to be softened for this recipe.
- Vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar
- Funfetti cake mix: A standard size box of Funfetti cake mix which is easily found at most grocery stores. You can also buy a store brand, rainbow chip, or anything similar. Have you seen all the different Funfetti options lately?!
- Sprinkles: Use any color of sprinkles you like. To keep the birthday cake and Funfetti theme, use rainbow sprinkles.
