The cobbler bakes to a golden brown with a tender, cake-like texture and a luscious strawberry filling, making it an ideal treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Layer

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for strawberries)

Cream Cheese Batter

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup sugar (for cream cheese mixture)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking. This temperature helps achieve a perfect golden crust and properly cooked cobbler.
  2. Prepare Strawberries: In a medium bowl, add the hulled and sliced strawberries and sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over them. Mix gently to combine and let the strawberries sit while you prepare the batter, allowing them to release natural juices.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and salt throughout the batter.
  5. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter thoroughly to combine all wet elements for the batter.
  6. Form Batter: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be smooth but avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
  7. Assemble Cobbler: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish. Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared dish to form the base layer.
  8. Add Strawberries: Spread the sugared strawberries evenly over the batter, layering the fruit content for even distribution and flavor.
  9. Top Batter: Pour the remaining batter over the strawberries, covering them completely for a beautiful layered cobbler.
  10. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the cobbler turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean, signaling it is fully cooked.
  11. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving to help it set and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing and a consistent texture.
  • You can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen ones if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid before use.
  • To add a nutty crunch, sprinkle chopped almonds or pecans on top before baking.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
  • Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
