Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with a sheet from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet for effortless cleanup and even baking.
- Spread both cans of strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of your prepared dish.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth. For extra-smooth results, blend in the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black.
- Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry filling and gently swirl with a spatula or butter knife for a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the entire top, then drizzle melted butter over the cake mix so most of it is moistened (some dry spots are fine—they’ll crisp up!).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheesecake layer is set. Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer in the center—it should register about 160°F for safe eggs.
- Let the cake cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. For leftovers, portion and store using Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup).
