Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler

 

Ingredients

Strawberry Layer

4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Layer

8 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cobbler Batter

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until evenly coated and set aside to release juices.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Cobbler Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and whisk until smooth and lump-free.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour batter evenly over the butter—do not stir. Spoon strawberry mixture evenly over the batter, then dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture across the top.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
