Ingredients
Scale
1 (21 ounce) can strawberry pie filling
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix (do not mix)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Spread the entire can of strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Distribute the cubes of softened cream cheese randomly over the strawberry layer.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and strawberry layers. Do not stir or mix any ingredients.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a richer cheesecake flavor, you can substitute the yellow cake mix with a white cake mix and add 1/4 cup of dry cheesecake pudding mix to the dry cake mix before sprinkling.
If you prefer a slightly firmer topping, you can use 1/2 cup of melted butter instead of a full cup.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect summer strawberry dessert recipe.
