Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 1/2 stick butter, melted
  • 1 egg, beaten

For whipped cream cheese layer

  • 1 package cream cheese (8 ounces), softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping

  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate wafers, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Beat cake mix, melted butter and egg using an electric mixer until thoroughly combined. (The dough will be pebble-like – more like a pie crust than cake batter.)
  3. Press the dough in an even layer on the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking pan and bake for 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool for at least 20 minutes.
  4. Whip cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla, and beat until stiff peaks form, about 2 more minutes.
  5. Spread in an even layer on top of the cooled strawberry crust and refrigerate at least two hours, or overnight.
  6. Just before serving, cover entire cake with sliced strawberries and drizzle with melted chocolate. If you prefer, you can drizzle each piece after cutting and plating.
