Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 can (21 ounces / 595 grams) strawberry pie filling
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Dairy and Sweet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F (175C) and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Create an even layer of strawberry pie filling across the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Whip cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until velvety smooth, creating soft dollops across the strawberry base.
- Generously distribute the dry cake mix over the cream cheese layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Slowly pour melted butter and milk across the cake mix, allowing liquid to seep through and moisten the entire surface.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top transforms into a golden, crisp crust with bubbling edges.
- Remove from oven and allow the dessert to rest for 10-15 minutes, permitting the layers to settle and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Cream cheese temperature matters significantly for smooth, lump-free mixing when preparing the cheesecake layer.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and beat it thoroughly to achieve a silky, creamy consistency.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular cake mix with a gluten-free alternative to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Add extra flavor by sprinkling chopped fresh strawberries or sliced almonds on top before baking for enhanced texture and taste.
