Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon coarse sugar, optional for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven, then carefully remove the dish.
3. In a bowl, combine the strawberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently and set aside.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
5. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
6. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring.
7. Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over the batter.
8. Scatter the cream cheese pieces over the top.
9. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
10. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the strawberry filling is bubbling.
11. Let the cobbler rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese so it melts into creamy pockets instead of staying too firm.
Do not stir the batter into the melted butter; the layers help create the cobbler texture.
Let the cobbler rest after baking so the strawberry filling thickens slightly before serving.
