Okay, folks, so the other day I decided to whip up a blueberry dump cake with cream cheese. I gotta say, it was way easier than I expected and turned out pretty darn good! Let me walk you through what I did.
First off, I grabbed a baking dish, just a regular 9×13 inch one. I sprayed it with some non-stick cooking spray because, you know, nobody wants their cake sticking to the bottom.
Next, I opened up two cans of blueberry pie filling and dumped them right into the dish. I spread that blueberry goodness around evenly with a spatula. Then came the fun part – the cream cheese. I took an 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened of course, and plopped dollops of it all over the blueberry filling. Didn’t smooth it out or anything, just let it sit there in little creamy islands.
After that, I sprinkled a box of yellow cake mix evenly over the top. Now, you might think you need to mix it in or something, but nope! Just sprinkle it on. It looked a bit weird at this point, like a layer of sand on top of everything, but trust the process.
- Step 1: Spray the baking dish.
- Step 2: Dump in the blueberry pie filling.
- Step 3: Add dollops of cream cheese.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the cake mix.
- Step 5: Add the butter.
The last thing I did before baking was to slice up a stick of cold butter into thin pats and arranged them all over the cake mix. This is where the magic happens, people. The butter melts into the cake mix and creates this amazing, crispy crust.
I popped the whole thing into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and let it bake for about 45-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges. Oh, and your kitchen will smell like heaven.
The moment of truth!
Once it was out of the oven, I let it cool for a bit. I mean, you could dive right in, but you might burn your tongue, and we don’t want that. After it cooled down some, I scooped out a big serving and added a dollop of whipped cream on top. Because why not?
The first bite was amazing! The top was all buttery and crispy, the blueberries were sweet and gooey, and the cream cheese added this tangy richness that just brought everything together. It was seriously one of the easiest and tastiest desserts I’ve ever made. So, if you’re looking for a simple yet delicious treat, give this blueberry dump cake a try. You won’t regret it!
