Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream cheese light or regular
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar or your preferred sweetener like erythritol or stevia, for a lower-sugar option
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract optional, but highly recommended for that classic Dunkaroo flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon rainbow sprinkles plus more for topping
  • 1 pinch food coloring optional, pink or yellow for the signature Dunkaroo hue

Equipment

  • Medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and the whipped cream cheese. If you are using regular cream cheese, ensure it is softened to room temperature for easier blending.

  2. Add the powdered sugar (or your chosen sweetener) to the bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract and the almond extract if you are using it. The almond extract is a secret ingredient that really amplifies the authentic Dunkaroo flavor, so don't skip it if you can help it!

  3. Using a whisk or an electric mixer on low speed, beat the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and well combined. Aim for a consistency free of any lumps from the cream cheese. This should only take about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the 1/4 cup of rainbow sprinkles. Be sure to mix them in just enough to distribute them throughout the dip; over-mixing can cause the colors to bleed.

  5. If you desire the classic Dunkaroo pink or yellow hue, add just a tiny pinch of food coloring now and gently mix it in until the desired color is achieved. A little goes a long way!

  6. Transfer the Best Protein Dunkaroo Dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle a few extra rainbow sprinkles on top for decoration. For the best flavor and texture, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dip to firm up slightly.
  7. Serve chilled with your favorite dippers, such as graham crackers, graham cracker sticks, apple slices, banana slices, or even protein cookies for an extra protein boost.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheating is not recommended; loosen with milk if too thick.
