This strawberry cheesecake dump cake is a stunning layered dessert with a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake center, juicy strawberry layers, and a golden crumble topping. Each slice reveals distinct, delicious layers that taste as good as they look.

Ingredients

For the Bottom Strawberry Layer:

1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

For the Crust Layer:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or vanilla wafer crumbs)

1/3 cup granulated sugar

6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Layer:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Topping Layer:

1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

1/2 cup strawberry jam, slightly warmed

For the Crumble Topping:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press evenly into the bottom of the dish to form a firm crust.
  3. Spread strawberry pie filling evenly over the crust, then top with sliced fresh strawberries.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour cheesecake mixture evenly over the strawberry layer, spreading gently to keep layers distinct.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the cheesecake layer is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the crumble topping by combining flour, sugar, and cold butter cubes until crumbly.
  8. Remove the baked cheesecake layer from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
  9. Spread warmed strawberry jam over the cheesecake, then top with sliced strawberries.
  10. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the strawberries and return to the oven for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.
  11. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow layers to set.

Notes

Use crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies instead of graham crackers for the crust.

Add 1–2 tsp lemon juice to the cheesecake layer for extra tang.

Substitute raspberry or apricot jam if strawberry isn’t available.

For added crunch, mix chopped nuts into the crumble topping.

Chill overnight for the best texture and distinct layers.
