Description

A delightful strawberry cheesecake poke cake that brings together the creamy richness of cheesecake and the sweetness of strawberries in a moist cake.


Ingredients

  • 2 packs (16 oz each) of strawberries
  • 1 box (14.25 oz) white cake mix
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 pack (3 oz) strawberry jello mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 pack (24.3 oz) Philadelphia no bake cheesecake filling


Instructions

  1. Make one long slice down the side of half the strawberries and set aside.
  2. Chop remaining strawberries, mix with sugar, and place in the fridge to marinate.
  3. Prepare the cake mix according to the box instructions, using egg whites.
  4. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and pour in the cake batter, then bake for approximately 33 minutes at 350°F.
  5. While the cake is baking, dissolve the jello mix in a bowl with 1 cup of boiling water and set aside.
  6. Once baking is complete, poke holes in the cake with a wooden spoon handle.
  7. Pour the jello mixture evenly over the warm cake so it fills the holes.
  8. Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour to cool completely.
  9. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly on top of the cooled cake.
  10. Garnish with sliced strawberries around the edges and marinated strawberries in the center.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother cheesecake filling. Optional: Garnish with whipped cream or mint leaves.
