Ingredients
- 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or white cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the Strawberry Base:
- Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the pie filling and gently spread it into an even layer.
- Add the Cake Mix:
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and strawberry layers.
- Drizzle with Butter:
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the dry cake mix. Do not stir—it will bake into a crumbly, golden topping.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the dump cake cool for about 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, if desired.
Tips:
- For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola over the top before baking.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat!
Enjoy this effortless dessert that tastes like it took hours to make! 😊
