Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake

Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is an easy, delicious dessert that combines the flavors of cheesecake and strawberry in a super simple, one-pan recipe. Here’s how you can make it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling (or fresh strawberries, sliced)
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix (or white cake mix)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup milk (optional for a creamier texture)
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries (if using fresh strawberries)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
    • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. If you want a slightly smoother texture, add a splash of milk.
    • Optional: You can add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  2. Layer the Cake:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or lightly grease it.
    • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
    • Pour the strawberry pie filling (or fresh strawberries) on top of the cream cheese layer. Spread it out evenly.
  3. Add the Cake Mix:
    • Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the strawberry layer. Don’t stir or mix it in—just let it sit on top like a “dump.”
  4. Pour the Butter:
    • Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix. This will help create a golden, slightly crispy top as it bakes.
  5. Bake the Dump Cake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges. You might see some of the cake mix still unbaked in spots, but that’s normal and adds to the rustic charm!
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Once baked, let the dump cake cool for about 10-15 minutes. The cake will thicken up a bit as it cools.
    • Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for extra indulgence.

Tips:

  • If you want extra strawberry flavor, feel free to add more chopped fresh strawberries along with the pie filling.
  • For a creamier texture, consider adding a bit of milk to the cream cheese mixture to make it more like a cheesecake layer.

This Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is so easy and delicious, and it’s perfect for when you want a comforting dessert without a lot of effort. Enjoy! Would you like to customize it with any other fruits or flavors?
