Funfetti Cake Cheese Ball

By carvalhohm

Instead of a traditional cake, this festive and fun appetizer is great for a party. Serve with Vanilla Wafers, graham crackers, fruit, or other cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups funfetti cake mix, dry
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup rainbow jimmies (sprinkles)
• Vanilla Wafers, graham crackers, fruit, or other cookies for dipping

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until combined. Then add in the Funfetti cake mix, sugar, and powdered sugar and beat until combined.

Place the mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap. Bring up all the corners of the plastic wrap and wrap into a ball. Freeze the ball for about 1 1/2 hours or until it is firm enough to keep its shape.

Place the rainbow jimmies on a flat plate and roll the unwrapped cheese ball in the jimmies. Make sure to press the jimmies into the cheese ball until it is fully covered.

Place the ball on a serving dish, cover with plastic wrap and freeze the cheese ball for another 2 hours or overnight. If frozen overnight, thaw for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
