What is strawberry cobbler?
If you haven't ever had strawberry cobbler before, it's a strawberry filling made with fresh strawberries and a bit of sugar and vanilla mixed in, plus some flour to thicken it. It's all covered in a biscuit topping.
When you add either vanilla ice cream or whipped cream it makes it even better. The two items complement each other very well.

Yes, you can.
If you are wanting to make ahead of time and freeze for later, you can stop right before putting the strawberry cobblers into the oven and instead cover with saran wrap and then foil and place into the freezer.
