Ingredients
– 1 can of strawberry pie filling (21 oz)
– 1 package of cream cheese (8 oz), softened
– 1 cup of powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 box of yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
– ½ cup of unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
– 1 cup of fresh strawberries, sliced (optional for garnish)
Equipment Needed
– 9×13 inch baking dish
– Mixing bowl
– Electric mixer (or whisk)
– Spatula
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab your mixing bowl and beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth. Then, mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. The sweet aroma fills the kitchen, and I can’t help but sneak a small taste. Once everything is well combined, it’s time to spread that luscious cheesecake mixture evenly in the bottom of your baking dish. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
