What is strawberry cobbler?
If you haven't ever had strawberry cobbler before, it's strawberries with a bit of sugar and vanilla mixed in, plus some flour to thicken it and it's all covered in a topping similar to biscuits.
When you add either vanilla ice cream or whipped cream it makes it even better. The two items complement each other very well.
Strawberry Cobbler Ingredients
- cups fresh strawberries, cleaned and halved
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- ½ cup milk
How to Make Strawberry Cobbler
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 13"x9" baking dish and set aside.
Step 2: Clean and cut strawberries and add to a large bowl.
Step 3: Add flour, ¼ cup sugar and vanilla and toss to coat, then set aside.
Step 4: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Cut butter into pieces and blend into the flour mixture until small crumbles form.
Step 6: Gradually add in the milk, stirring after each addition until well combined.
Step 7: Add strawberries to the prepared baking dish. Scoop topping onto strawberries and spread slightly. The mixture will be thick, but it will spread while it's cooking.
Step 8: Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whip cream.
If you have any leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator.
What to Serve with Strawberry Cobbler?
As I said above, the cobbler is good, but the toppings below truly make the dish.

- Whipped Cream
Strawberry Cobbler Tips
If you don't have fresh strawberries, but are still wanting to make this, feel free to sub them out for frozen strawberries.
Can You Freeze Strawberry Cobbler?
Yes, you can.
If you are wanting to make ahead of time and freeze for later, you can stop right before putting in the oven and instead cover with saran wrap and then foil and place in the freezer.
Take it out the night before baking and place in the fridge. Then, cook it when it's defrosted.
Should strawberry cobbler be refrigerated?
Strawberry cobbler doesn't have to be refrigerated if you'll eat it within a day or two. If you need a few extra days, then you should stick it in the fridge.
