How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake in 4 Easy Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom, then sprinkle in the fresh strawberries.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Layer

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat until smooth and creamy. Spoon this mixture evenly over the strawberries.

Step 3: Add Cake Mix & Butter

Sprinkle the dry vanilla cake mix over the cheesecake layer—do not mix. Slowly drizzle the melted butter across the surface, making sure to cover as much of the cake mix as possible.

Step 4: Bake and Serve

Bake uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving warm. It’s heavenly with vanilla ice cream whipped cream!

Pro Tips for Serving

  • Add chopped nuts for extra texture
  • Storage & Reheating
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
