  • Total Time: 55-60 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Fruit Base

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling

Cheesecake Layer

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cake & Topping

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it reaches the correct temperature for baking the cake evenly.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal and cleanup later.
  3. Layer the Strawberries: Spread the fresh or frozen strawberries evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then pour the strawberry pie filling over the top to create a sweet, fruity first layer.
  4. Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the strawberry layer; you don’t need to spread it out as it will melt and blend in while baking.
  5. Add the Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the entire surface of the pan. Do not stir; allow it to remain on top as it will form the cakey topping.
  6. Drizzle the Butter: Pour melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix. Again, don’t stir; this will help produce a golden, buttery crust.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Top with whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Switch up the fruit: Try mixed berries, blueberries, raspberries, or a peach pie filling for variety.
  • Add lemon zest to the cheesecake layer for a refreshing zing.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3–4 days, or freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic and foil for up to 2 months.
