1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9” x 13” pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, place the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and sour cream and beat until smooth and creamy with an electric hand mixer.
3. Spoon the strawberry filling into the bottom of the baking dish.
4. Drop large spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top of the strawberry filling. (You can lightly swirl them together if you wish).
5. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top in an even layer, then sprinkle the cake mix on top.
6. Using a box grater, grate the butter over the top of the entire pan. If you don’t want to grate the butter, slice it into thin slices to cover the entire top.
7. Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown on top. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

CAN I USE HOMEMADE PIE FILLING?

Absolutely, homemade or cans of strawberry pie filling both work great.

I will typically opt for the canned stuff (get organic if you like) because it makes for that much less work.

CAN I MAKE THIS WITH DIFFERENT FLAVORS?

Sure thing! Peach dump cake, chocolate strawberry dump cake, or even a lemon dump cake twist are great options.

I’ve got a great list of other additions and substitutions down below.

WHAT TO TOP THIS WITH?

A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream makes it heavenly.

Homemade whipped cream is always the tastiest, in my opinion.

• Fresh strawberries or fresh berries for a burst of summer fruit.
