FOR THE FILLING
- 8 cups of fresh strawberries, halved or quartered
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of instant tapioca
- 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
FOR THE TOPPING
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour

SUBSTITUTIONS and ADDITIONS
Strawberries: You can use many types of fruit for cobbler. To substitute for strawberries, you can use any other type of berry, like raspberries. blueberries, or blackberries. You can also mix your fruits together.
Heavy Whipping Cream: Use milk and butter as a great substitute for heavy whipping cream. Combine 1/4 cup of melted butter with 3/4 cup of milk and mix them together to make 1 cup of heavy cream.
HOW TO MAKE THIS STRAWBERRY COBBLER RECIPE
STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and butter a glass 9×13 baking dish. Set it aside.
STEP TWO: Combine the strawberries, sugar, tapioca, and lemon juice. Stir the ingredients together and spread the mixture into a glass baking dish.
PRO TIP: Use instant tapioca to thicken the cobbler. Be sure to cook the cobbler until it’s bubbling and thickened to the center. Rinse and air dry the strawberries before adding them to the cobbler.
STEP THREE: Combine flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Then cut cold butter into the flour/sugar mixture using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture forms small, pea-sized pieces.
PRO TIP: Make sure your butter is really cold! Take it out of the fridge right before you begin this process.
STEP FOUR: Pour heavy cream into the topping mixture and stir together until it’s combined.
STEP FIVE: Scoop piles of the topping over the strawberry mixture into the baking dish.
STEP SIX: Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the cobbler if desired.
STEP SEVEN: Bake your cobbler for about 45 to 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.
STEP EIGHT: You’re ready to serve! Serve your cobbler warm with a side of ice cream.
STORAGE
IN THE FRIDGE: Cooked berries aren’t going to freeze very well, but you can store your leftovers in the fridge. Store your cobbler covered with plastic wrap or a lid for up to 3 days.
