Ingredients
2 cans strawberry pie filling
8 oz cream cheese
1 box vanilla cake mix
1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Spread strawberry pie filling evenly in the bottom of the dish.
3. Cut cream cheese into small cubes or dollop softened cream cheese across the filling.
4. Sprinkle dry vanilla cake mix evenly over the top—do not stir.
5. Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much as possible.
6. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
7. Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
For smoother texture, soften the cream cheese before dolloping—it melts better during baking.
You can swap in fresh strawberries cooked with sugar and cornstarch if you prefer homemade filling.
For an extra crispy topping, add sliced almonds or crushed graham crackers on top before baking.
