Discover the ultimate indulgence with this easy strawberry cheesecake dump cake, a ridiculously simple yet incredibly delicious dessert! Combining the creamy tang of cheesecake with sweet strawberry pie filling and a buttery cake topping, it’s the hassle-free treat you’ve been dreaming of.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8-10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (21 ounce) can strawberry pie filling
  • 1 (8 ounce) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix (or vanilla cake mix)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: Whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or fresh strawberries for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Pour the entire can of strawberry pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it to cover the base.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  4. Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry pie filling layer in the baking dish. Don't worry about spreading it perfectly; it will melt and distribute beautifully as it bakes.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix directly over the strawberry and cream cheese layers, ensuring it covers as much of the wet ingredients as possible.
  6. Slowly and evenly pour the melted butter over the dry cake mix. Try to saturate as much of the cake mix as you can; this is crucial for creating that delicious, crumbly topping.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is gorgeously golden brown and the filling underneath is bubbly. A toothpick inserted into the cake topping should come out mostly clean (a little moisture from the fruit is expected).
  8. Remove the dump cake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This cooling time helps the filling set, making it easier to serve.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a handful of white chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture before dolloping. This easy strawberry cheesecake dump cake is absolutely divine served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous dollop of whipped cream. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for that fresh-baked feel. Feel free to experiment with other pie fillings like cherry or blueberry for delightful variations!
