Red Velvet Cake Batter Dip

Red Velvet dip;  This easy to make dip tastes just like red velvet cake batter!

Red Velvet Cake Batter Dip from Jen's Favorite CookiesEver since we got Netflix, I’m getting hooked on one series after another.

Murder mysteries, mostly.  I watch one series from beginning to end, then spend a few days wishing there were more episodes, then I start over with a new series.

I was sort of devastated when I came to the end of “Dexter.”  That one will be hard to replace.

Lately, I’ve been watching old episodes of “Columbo.”  Peter Falk is classic.  I even found a few episodes I hadn’t seen before.

It’s a terrible habit.  I should space them out, I would probably enjoy them more if I didn’t watch one right after another.

I am the same way with food.  A couple weeks ago, I made some chicken salad for lunch, and enjoyed it so much I made it three more times within the next week and a half.

I’m a little sick of chicken salad now.

But my latest obsession is cake batter dip.  Lawd have mercy, I can’t stop myself.

Seeing as how February is right around the corner, I decided to try a red velvet version of this treat.

The kids LOVE when I make this stuff.  LOVE it.  They basically fight over it, and I have to threaten bodily harm to get them to share.

The Fruitarian: “This dip is so good!!”
Me: “Of course it is.  Never doubt me.”

Since our Valentines Day celebrations basically center around the kids, I think this dip might need to be part of it.

Knowing me, I’ll probably make it four times between now and then.

Maybe I’ll eat it while watching old episodes of “Columbo.”

    Ha I think we already talked about this, but I’m notorious for eating the same meal over and over again. I can definitely see myself eating this dip over and over and over and. over…

    I’m absolutely certain that all I would have to do is give this to my husband with a spoon and he would be very happy. He LOVES red velvet anything.

    Cake mix has raw flour in it, which should NEVER be consumed as it can harbor e. coli and salmonella just like raw eggs. This recipe is NOT safe to eat. If you don’t mind eating raw eggs, then go for it. But if you wouldn’t eat raw eggs, do NOT make this.

      Thanks for bringing this up. My research indicates that raw flour is very low risk in terms of bacteria, much lower risk than raw eggs. But, just like ordering a rare steak at a restaurant, people should use their best judgement before consuming this.

      Amanda, absolutely! It’s easiest to eat at room temperature, though, so let it warm up for a few minutes before digging in.

    Hi! I love this recipe and cant wait to try it. I’m wondering whether the red velvet cake mix can be substituted. Can you use yellow or chocolate or white instead? Please help!

    I want to make this for a baby shower on Wednesday. Would it still be good if I made it on Monday or Tuesday night and refrigerated it?

      Sure, it’s fine made-ahead. Just be sure it’s well covered in the fridge, and that you let it come to room temperature (or close) before serving.
