Ingredients

1 11.9 oz container confetti pop frosting any brand you like*
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup cottage cheese
6 scoops Unflavored collagen peptides ⅓-1/2 cup depending on scoop size**

Instructions

Blend everything up until smooth and no curds remain. If you have time to let it chill in the fridge - great! It’ll thicken up as it chills.
Top with sprinkles just before serving because certain sprinkles' color will bleed (the all-natural ones in particular) into the dip. So, to keep that pure white color, add the sprinkles right before serving.
Feel free to add in mix-ins like crushed cookies (hello Oreos!), nuts, chocolate chips, etc., to really amp it up!

Notes

*For frosting: I used one made with coconut oil and simple ingredients from Mrs. Jones, but use whatever vanilla one you like, just make sure it has sprinkles! Sugar free works too.

**For collagen, I use Orgain Grass Fed Collagen Peptides with 18g of protein per serving/2 scoops.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The dip will firm up as it chills—just give it a quick stir before serving if needed.

Using collagen vs protein powder: I know the viral Dunkaroo dip uses protein powder and while it will give you a low calorie dunkaroo dip, it also creates that classic protein powder, chalky taste that I just can't get behind. Collagen, on the other hand, is totally unflavored and mixes seamlessly, but brands vary a lot in protein content.

Can I make it without frosting? I tested this at least 5 different ways with and without protein powder, with maple syrup instead of frosting, etc, but for a healthier Dunkaroo dip that actually tasted like the real thing, it came down to actually including actual frosting, which obviously ups the calories.

What can I enjoy this with? Because this is a higher-calorie protein-packed dessert dip, I prefer to enjoy it with fruit like apple slices, strawberries, and banana. But pretzels, animal crackers, Teddy Grahams, and vanilla wafers are all delicious too.
