Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (21 oz each) strawberry pie filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
- Spread both cans of strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over the pie filling layer.
- Evenly sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the top of the cream cheese and strawberry layers.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the entire surface of the cake mix.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream!
Notes
- For a fresher flavor, substitute homemade strawberry compote for canned pie filling.
- Try different cake mix flavors like white, lemon, or strawberry for fun variations.
- This dessert must be refrigerated after cooling due to the cream cheese layer.
- Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30 seconds or in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes.
