How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a bowl, mix the sliced strawberries, ½ cup sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir well until the strawberries are coated and set aside to release their juices.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with ¼ cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Cobbler Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, ½ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the milk, stirring just until combined.
Pour in the melted butter and mix gently—do not overmix.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
Grease a 9×9 baking dish.
- Pour the cobbler batter into the dish.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter.
- Add the strawberry mixture on top (do not stir).
As it bakes, the layers magically form a perfect cobbler texture.
Step 5: Bake
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
