Strawberry Cobbler Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

STRAWBERRIES: You can use many types of fresh fruit for this easy cobbler recipe.

To substitute for the 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 ¼ cup of melted butter with ¾ cup of milk and mix them together to make one cup of heavy cream.

LEMON JUICE: If you don’t have lemon juice on hand, you can use orange juice as a substitute.

It will infuse a citrusy brightness into your dessert, complementing the sweet and tart flavors of the strawberries.

VANILLA EXTRACT: To add a different dimension of flavor, consider using almond extract instead of vanilla.

It’ll impart a subtle nuttiness to your crumble that pairs wonderfully with the fruit.

NUTS: If you’re a fan of nutty textures, throw in some chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts into the topping for an extra layer of crunch and flavor.

This addition can give your dessert a delightful contrast.

SPICES: Experiment with spices by adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cardamom to the topping.

These spices can introduce warm, aromatic notes that elevate the overall taste.

How To Make This Strawberry Cobbler Recipe

Cobbler desserts come together so easily, and this one is no different. Just layer the filling and the topping together in your pan before baking until it is golden.

STEP ONE: To start, preheat the oven to 375°F and butter a glass 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Set it aside.

STEP TWO: Next, combine the strawberries, sugar, tapioca, and lemon juice. Stir the ingredients together and spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish. 

STEP THREE: In a separate bowl, prepare the strawberry cobbler topping. To do this, combine flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.

Next, cut cold butter into the dry ingredients using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture forms small, pea-sized pieces.

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 in the baking dish.

STEP SIX: Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the cobbler if desired.

STEP SEVEN: Bake your cobbler in the preheated oven 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 sweet cobbler warm with a side of ice cream.

Storing Fresh Strawberry Cobbler

Whether you want to enjoy it over several days or save some for later, here’s your guide on how to store and reheat this delightful dessert.

MAKE AHEAD: Once it has cooled down after cooking, you can cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator.

When you’re ready to enjoy it, follow the reheating instructions below.

IN THE FRIDGE: You can store your leftovers in the fridge. Store your cobbler covered with plastic wrap or a lid for up to three days.

IN THE FREEZER: The cooked berries aren’t going to freeze very well, so we don’t recommend trying to freeze this recipe.

REHEATING:

• OVEN Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the crumble from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. Once thawed, reheat it in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until it’s warm and the topping is crispy.
• MICROWAVE: If you’re in a hurry, you can use the microwave. Place a portion of the frozen crumble in a microwave-safe dish and cover it with a microwave-safe lid or a microwave-safe plate. Heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s heated through. Keep a close eye on it to prevent overheating.
