Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake – quick cheesecake recipes no bake easy desserts

This Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is one of those desserts that feels like cheating… but in the best way. It’s rich, fruity, creamy, and ridiculously easy to pull together. I mean, we’re talking layers of buttery cake, sweet strawberry filling, and smooth cream cheese—what’s not to love? I threw this together on a lazy Saturday when we had surprise guests pop by. No mixers, no fuss, just dumped, layered, and baked. It came out golden on top, bubbling with berry goodness underneath. My kitchen smelled like a warm hug, and the whole pan disappeared faster than you can say ‘save me a slice.’ If you’ve got a cake mix, some pie filling, and cream cheese sitting around, you’re already halfway there. It’s a no-fail favorite for potlucks, holidays, or those days when your sweet tooth demands immediate attention.

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced into thin pats
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Distribute the cream cheese chunks over the strawberry layer.
  4. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and strawberries. Do not stir.
  5. Dot the top with butter slices, spacing them as evenly as you can.
  6. Add a drizzle of vanilla extract over the top if using.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Great warm or at room temp.

Notes

You can swap strawberry pie filling for cherry, blueberry, or whatever canned fruit you’ve got hiding in the back of your pantry. Just make sure the butter covers enough of the dry mix so you don’t get powdery spots.
