- Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly. If you’re using fresh strawberries, toss them with a bit of sugar and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices, then layer them over the cream cheese.
3. Add the Cake Mix:
- Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the strawberry layer. No need to mix it in, just spread it as evenly as possible over the top.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix. If you like a bit of extra texture, sprinkle the shredded coconut on top as well.
5. Bake:
- Bake the dump cake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. You can check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake part — it should come out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The cake will firm up as it cools, and the layers will come together beautifully.
- Serve the Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- You can substitute the strawberry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings like cherry, blueberry, or peach for a different variation.
- If you want an even richer flavor, add a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake mix before sprinkling it on top.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle chocolate syrup or a glaze on top after baking.
