Ingredients

4 cups fresh strawberries

1 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a baking dish.

In a medium bowl, I toss the strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until everything is evenly coated. Then I spread this mixture into the baking dish.

In another bowl, I beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. I dollop this mixture over the strawberries.

Next, I mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter in a separate bowl until just combined. I spoon this batter over the fruit and cheesecake layer, covering most of the surface.

Then I bake it for 35 to 40 minutes until the top turns golden and the filling bubbles around the edges. I let it cool slightly before serving so the layers settle nicely.

Servings and timing

I prepare this recipe in about 10 minutes, and it bakes for 40 minutes, making the total time around 50 minutes.
It serves 6 portions, with each serving averaging about 320 kcal.

Variations

I sometimes swap strawberries with mixed berries like blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor.
If I want a richer taste, I add a pinch of cinnamon or almond extract to the topping.
For a slightly crunchier texture, I sprinkle a bit of brown sugar on top before baking.
I also like making it gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
When I want to reheat it, I warm it in the oven at a low temperature so the topping stays nice and soft. If I’m in a hurry, I use the microwave, but the texture is best when reheated in the oven.

FAQs

Can I reduce the sugar?

I can reduce the sugar slightly, especially if the strawberries are already very sweet.

What can I serve with this cobbler?

I like serving it warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Conclusion
