A Creamy, Fruity, and Gorgeous Dessert
This updated Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake combines a buttery graham cracker crust with layers of sweet strawberry pie filling, creamy cheesecake, and a crumbly, golden topping. 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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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
- In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.
- Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it gently to cover.
Step 3: Add the Cake Mix and Topping
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the strawberry layer.
- Drizzle ½ cup melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix to create a crumbly, golden topping.
Step 4: Bake
- 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.
- Let it cool for 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Top the cooled cake with halved fresh strawberries for a vibrant and fresh finish.
- 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! 🍓✨🍰
