Ingredients

Scale
  • 21 oz (600 g) canned or jarred strawberry pie filling (or fresh strawberries mashed with sugar)
  • 15.25 oz (432 g) boxed yellow cake mix (recommend Duncan Hines)
  • 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream, full-fat
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (115 g) butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and free of lumps (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add granulated sugar, sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix on medium speed until well combined and creamy.
  4. Spread the cheesecake batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan using a spatula.
  5. Evenly spread the strawberry pie filling over the cheesecake layer.
  6. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the strawberry layer without stirring or pressing down.
  7. Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, drizzling slowly for even coverage.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges. The cheesecake layer should be set with a slight jiggle.
  9. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

Notes

If topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil after 30 minutes. Chill bars in fridge for at least an hour before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Pour melted butter slowly over cake mix for even topping. Optionally sprinkle cinnamon on top before baking for added warmth.
