Funfetti Dessert Cheeseball
Dessert certainly doesn’t have to be complicated. However, if it’s going to be this simple, it’s a lot more fun when it’s this adorable! I love creating desserts that the kids can be a part of making.
This cheeseball dip is made with just a few simple ingredients. We upped the charm factor and created something the girls were so proud of! It’s so simple to make, you might have most of the ingredients on hand!
- Funfetti cake mix – NOTE: if it’s important to you, learn How to Heat Treat Flour for no bake recipes like this one – it’s an added safety option that is recommended by the FDA.
- Cream Cheese – Learn how to soften cream cheese quickly.
- Buttercream (you can use my recipe but you’re welcome to buy store-bought icing, too. I’ll never judge!)
- extra sprinkles
- M&Ms – to create paw prints
- Marshmallow – for the fluffy bunny tail
You can cover your sweet little bunny in your favorite clear or white sprinkles. Sugar crystals offer great texture, a little sparkle and incredible taste but these also work well:
- nonpareils
- sugar crystals (sparkling sugar)
- jimmies
For best results, cover immediately after icing your cheeseball. Gently pat them on, tilt the platter to remove excess and repeat.
Serving Suggestions
There are so many delicious options! It’s fun to experiment and see what we like the best.
- graham crackers
- biscoff cookies
- waffle cone pieces
- pretzels
- shortbread cookies
- vanilla wafers
- cinnamon chips
- animal crackers
- apple slices
Now this is so darling you don’t really need to create a display. As you can see just the bunny butt on a platter is adorable.
However, you can garnish with pansies to make it appear he or she is digging in the garden. You can also surround it with crushed Oreos to add a little dirt! Truly, anything goes. Have fun with it!
