How to Make Strawberry Cobbler
FIRST STEP: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9x13 glass baking dish and set aside.
SECOND STEP: Combine strawberries, sugar, tapioca, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and spread in a glass baking dish.
THIRD STEP: Prepare the topping by combining flour, baking powder, granulated and brown sugar. Cut cold butter into flour/sugar mixture using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture forms small, pea-size pieces.
FOURTH STEP: Pour heavy cream into the topping mixture and stir just until combined.
FIFTH STEP: Scoop piles of the topping over the strawberry mixture in the baking dish.
SIXTH STEP: Sprinkle coarse sugar over the cobbler topping if desired.
SEVENTH STEP: Bake about 45-55 minutes until the strawberry filling is bubbling, not just around the edge, but in the center as well. The topping should be browned and baked through.
EIGHTH STEP: Serve warm with ice cream.
Cooking Tips
Try switching out strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, or any other type of fruit that you love! Mix them together for a cobbler that’s full of flavor!
If you don’t have heavy whipping cream, you can use milk and butter as a substitute. Combine ¼ cup of melted butter with ¾ cup milk and mix them together to make 1 cup of heavy cream.
Instant tapioca is used to thicken the mixture in this cobbler. You can make the cobbler without it, but it may not hold together as well and will be very runny.
Storing this Recipe
IN THE FRIDGE: Store this cobbler in an airtight container or with a plastic wrap covering for up to 3 days in the fridge.
IN THE FREEZER: It’s not recommended to freeze this recipe because when reheating, the strawberries will release a lot of liquid and the cobbler will end up mushy. If you do end up freezing it, it will last up to one month in the freezer. Slow thaw it in the fridge and eat cold or reheat in oven at 350 until cobbler is bubbling in the middle.
