Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp coarse sugar for topping (optional)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Place them in a bowl with lemon juice and half of the sugar. Stir gently and let them sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining sugar.
4. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms without overmixing.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
6. Spoon the strawberry mixture and juices evenly over the batter.
7. Scatter softened cream cheese cubes across the top so they distribute evenly while baking.
8. Sprinkle coarse sugar and cinnamon on top if desired.
9. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the top becomes deeply golden brown and the strawberry filling bubbles around the edges.
10. Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
11. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or extra fresh strawberries.
Notes
Use ripe fresh strawberries for the sweetest and most flavorful cobbler filling.
Allow the cream cheese to soften before baking so it melts evenly into the dessert.
Let the cobbler rest before serving to help the filling thicken and improve texture.
