Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 (15 ounces/425 grams) cans strawberry pie filling
- 1 package vanilla or white cake mix
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
Dairy and Sugar:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) salted butter, cold
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
Garnish:
- Fresh strawberries, whole or halved (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, creating the ideal temperature for a perfectly baked dessert.
- Pour both cans of strawberry pie filling into an ungreased 9×13″ baking dish, spreading evenly to create a vibrant fruity base.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese, egg, and sugar until achieving a silky-smooth consistency with no lumps.
- Carefully distribute dollops of the cheesecake mixture across the strawberry filling, ensuring an even spread without perfect precision.
- Generously cascade the dry cake mix over the entire surface, allowing it to sit untouched and powdery.
- Strategically arrange thin butter slices across the cake mix, covering the entire top layer to guarantee a golden and crisp exterior.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and bubbling strawberry edges that signal perfect doneness.
- Allow the dessert to rest briefly after removing from the oven, permitting the cheesecake layer to stabilize and create a harmonious texture before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature for the smoothest, lump-free cheesecake layer.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular cake mix with a gluten-free alternative without compromising texture.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped fresh strawberries on top after baking for extra freshness and visual appeal.
