📝 Ingredients
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Oven and Dish
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Sweeten the Strawberries
Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl and mix them with ½ cup of the granulated sugar. Stir well and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This process helps the berries release their natural juices, creating a flavorful syrup for the cobbler.
3️⃣ Mix the Batter
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup of sugar until evenly combined.
4️⃣ Add the Wet Ingredients
Pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms with no large lumps.
5️⃣ Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Spoon the strawberries along with their juices evenly over the batter.
Scatter the cubed cream cheese across the top so it melts into creamy pockets while baking.
6️⃣ Bake the Cobbler
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
7️⃣ Cool and Serve
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly.
