Strawberry Cheesecake Poke Cake
This Strawberry Cheesecake Poke Cake is a simple and delicious dessert featuring a white cake base, a creamy strawberry filling, and a fluffy cheesecake topping. Perfect for any occasion, it's sure to be a crowd-pleaser with its fresh strawberry garnish.
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix plus ingredients listed on the box
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup strawberry preserves
- 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant cheesecake pudding mix
- 3/4 cup cold milk
- 1 (8 ounce) tub whipped topping thawed
- 2 cups fresh strawberries diced
Instructions
- Follow the instructions on the white cake mix box to bake the cake in a 9x13-inch pan. Once baked, let it cool completely.
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cooled cake, about an inch apart.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and strawberry preserves together until well combined.
- Spread the strawberry cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake, using a spatula to press the filling down into the holes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant cheesecake pudding mix and 3/4 cup of cold milk until thickened.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the prepared pudding. Spread this mixture over the cake, covering the strawberry cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Just before serving, slice and dice the fresh strawberries and arrange them on top of the cake.
- Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Store the poke cake in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
- You can freeze the cake (without the fresh strawberries) for up to one month. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving and add fresh strawberries after thawing.
