Description

This Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is a delightful and simple dessert that combines creamy cheesecake layers with sweet strawberry pie filling and a crunchy cake topping. Perfect for quick baking with minimal effort, it yields a crowd-pleasing treat ideal for any occasion.


Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 can strawberry pie filling

Cheesecake Layer

  • 1 package cream cheese (8 ounces), softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk

Topping

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Add Strawberry Filling: Spread the entire can of strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a flavorful base.
  3. Mix Cheesecake Layer: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a rich cheesecake layer.
  4. Layer Cheesecake Mixture: Pour and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the strawberry pie filling layer in the baking dish.
  5. Top with Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer, covering it completely for a crisp topping.
  6. Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix to moisten the topping and help it bake to a golden brown.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges, indicating it’s cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the layers set and make slicing easier.

Notes

  • You can substitute the strawberry pie filling with other fruit fillings like cherry or blueberry for variety.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth cheesecake layer.
  • Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
