Finished with a luscious glaze and fresh strawberries, this dessert is both eye-catching and irresistibly delicious—perfect for celebrations or casual indulgence!


Ingredients :

(Serves 8–10)

  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted (for crust)
  • 1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
  • 1 cup (250g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 (15.25 oz) box yellow or white cake mix
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • ½ cup (120ml) fresh strawberries, halved (for garnish)

Instructions :

Step 1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9Ă—13-inch baking dish to form the crust.

Step 2: Layer the Cheesecake and Strawberry Filling

  1. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.
  2. Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it gently to cover.

Step 3: Add the Cake Mix and Topping

  1. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the strawberry layer.
  2. Drizzle ½ cup melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix to create a crumbly, golden topping.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Bake the dessert in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberry filling bubbles around the edges.
  2. Let it cool for 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  1. Top the cooled cake with halved fresh strawberries for a vibrant and fresh finish.
  2. Slice and serve directly from the dish. Enjoy as-is or pair with a dollop of whipped cream!

Pro Tips:

  • Extra Glaze: Brush the fresh strawberries with warm strawberry jam for a shiny, bakery-style finish.
  • Crunch Upgrade: Add chopped nuts or crushed graham crackers to the topping before baking for added texture.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare and bake the cake a day ahead—it tastes even better after sitting overnight in the fridge.

Why This Version Stands Out:

  • Gorgeous Layers: The graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake, and shiny strawberry topping make for a stunning presentation.
  • Indulgent Texture: Creamy, crunchy, and fruity layers in every bite.
  • Customizable: Try with other fruits like cherries, blueberries, or peaches!

This Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is a guaranteed hit, offering a beautiful balance of textures and flavors. It’s the dessert that will have everyone asking for seconds—and the recipe! 🍓✨🍰
