How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Dump Cake in a Cast Iron Skillet
Did you know you can make Strawberry Dump Cake in a cast iron skillet, too?
It’s SO easy!
Simply follow the instructions in the recipe below for the Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake, but instead, bake in a 12″ cast iron skillet in the oven at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, or until top is crispy and edges are hot and bubbly.
Also, instead of spraying with non-stick cooking spray, when using a skillet I like to pour 3 tbsp. Melted Butter into bottom of 12″ Cast Iron Skillet & swirl around so bottom of skillet is evenly coated.
Here’s what your frugal friends are saying about baking this in a cast iron skillet…

Another delicious recipe from Frugal Girls! My Husband and I really enjoyed this easy recipe warm from the oven for dessert last night. Keep up the good work Heidi and thank you so much for this keeper recipe!
Heidi says
Aww… thank you so much, Rosemary – you’re so sweet! I’m so glad to hear you and your husband enjoyed this tasty treat last night! 🙂
Nina says
I couldn’t find the whipped cream cheese! How much of a difference will it be with regular cream cheese?
Heidi says
Hi Nina ~ hmm… you could try bringing your regular cream cheese to room temperature and then whipping it with a hand or stand mixer to turn it into more of a whipped consistency. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!
Nina says
Will do! Also after looking at the picture the cream cheese tub is a 16 oz but your direction s say 8..
Heidi says
Wonderful! Also, it’s actually just an 8 oz. tub featured in the photo, so yes… 8 oz. of whipped cream cheese is all you’ll need. 🙂
Savannah says

do you store leftovers in the fridge? want to make day before for holiday meal
Heidi says
Hi Ryan – for this particular recipe it really is better to make it the day of the meal. Hope that helps! 🙂
Fan says
Love love the dump cake. I even made it half half putting a wrapped foiled cardboard in the middle. I couldn’t decide blueberry or cherry.
Carrie says
I understand it is best to make day of . But should it be refrigerated if not able to make the day of .
Heidi says
Hi Carrie… yes, because it has cream cheese as an ingredient, you’ll want to refrigerate whatever you don’t eat that day. Hope that helps!
Sarah says
Can you use fresh strawberries instead?
Heidi says
Hi Sarah ~ I haven’t tried yet, but if you do… let us know how it turns out!
Erica says
The pictures show dollops of cream cheese, but the recipe says to spread it. I’m just curious if I need to try to spread that cream cheese or if you just meant spread the dollops out evenly across the pie filling.
Thanks.
Heidi says
Hi Erica ~ yes… you’ll just lay out the dollops evenly across the pie filling. Sorry for the confusion… and enjoy your dump cake! 🙂

Made this with extra cherry pie filling and added about 1/2 box white cake mix. Freaking Devine! Thanks Doll!
