Ingredients

4 servings

cooking spray 1 (15.25 ounce) package strawberry cake mix ½ cup butter, softened 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting 3 large eggs

Almond Curry with a Touch of Royalty

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and give a 9x13-inch baking pan a light spray with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on low to combine the cake mix and butter until it looks crumbly. Scoop out about a cup of this mixture and set it aside. Press the remaining crumbs firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan to form the crust.

Step 2

Next, in the same bowl, beat together the cream cheese and frosting until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and mix until everything is well combined. Pour this filling over the crust and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture on top for a nice crunchy finish.

Step 3

Pop the pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top turns a lovely golden color. Once out of the oven, let it cool completely on the counter for about half an hour. Then cover it up and chill in the fridge for at least two hours to let it firm up.

Step 4

When you're ready, cut into a 6 by 6 grid and enjoy!
