Ingredients
1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling (or fresh/frozen strawberries, sweetened)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix (or white cake mix)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spoon the strawberry pie filling (or fresh/frozen strawberries) evenly over the cheesecake layer. Use a spatula to spread the strawberries out, making sure they cover the entire surface.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the strawberry layer. Do not mix it; just spread it as evenly as possible.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix to help form a golden, crispy topping while baking.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Optionally, drizzle with heavy cream for a richer flavor and texture.
Notes
You can swap the strawberry pie filling for other fruits such as blueberry, peach, or raspberry for a different flavor.
For extra creaminess, top the cake with whipped cream cheese frosting or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Sprinkle some chopped nuts like pecans or almonds on top of the cake mix before baking for added texture and flavor.
For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free cake mix.
If you’d like a less sweet dessert, use less sugar in the cheesecake mixture or opt for unsweetened fruit filling.
