Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

Tips for the Best Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake
Cover Dry Spots – If any dry cake mix remains after baking, drizzle a little extra melted butter over it and bake a few more minutes.
Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese – It melts into the filling better and creates creamy pockets.
Customize It – Swap the strawberry pie filling for cherry, blueberry, or raspberry for a fun twist!
Don’t Stir – Layering is key for the perfect texture.
Serve Warm or Chilled – Both ways are absolutely delicious.

Serving Suggestions
Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Serve with a fresh berry salad for a bright, summery touch.
Perfect alongside a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.
Dress it up with a drizzle of chocolate or strawberry sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use fresh strawberries instead of pie filling?
   Fresh strawberries alone won’t give the same consistency, but you can cook them down with sugar to create a homemade filling.
2. Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
   Yes, but full-fat cream cheese gives the richest, creamiest texture.
3. Can I make this ahead of time?
   Absolutely! It’s delicious made a day ahead and chilled, or baked fresh and served warm.
4. Can I use a different cake mix flavor?
   Sure! Yellow, white, or even a strawberry cake mix would all work beautifully.
