Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries

1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the fresh or frozen strawberries evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then, pour the strawberry pie filling over the strawberries, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry layer, but don’t spread it out—it will melt and mix in as it bakes.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the entire dessert. Do not stir; just let the cake mix sit on top.
Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, making sure it covers as much of the surface as possible. Again, do not stir.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. The cake mix will form a beautiful crust over the creamy filling.
Allow the dump cake to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Swap the strawberry pie filling for other fruit pie fillings, like blueberry, peach, or cherry, for a different flavor.
Use a white, vanilla, or strawberry cake mix for a slightly different flavor profile.
For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or shredded coconut on top of the cake mix before baking.
