Ingredients
1 pound fresh strawberries, diced
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
21 ounces strawberry pie filling
15.25 ounces white cake mix
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a bowl, toss the diced strawberries with sugar and let them sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Fold the macerated strawberries and their juices into the whipped cream cheese.
Spread the strawberry cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the strawberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer.
Sprinkle the dry white cake mix evenly over the top of the fruit layer.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps. For a crunchier topping, you can sprinkle a handful of sliced almonds over the cake mix before drizzling the butter.
