Watch me make this fresh strawberry cobbler from start to finish!
Strawberry season is here!!!! Ok maybe I’m almost a little bit late here in NC but either way now is the time to take advantage of all those fresh, juicy, sweet strawberries that are on sale. My husband got me a big container full of strawberries and immediately I started thinking about ways to use them. We ate our fair share of fresh strawberries, made a quick berry salad, froze some for smoothies and now it’s fresh strawberry cobbler time!!
Cobblers are the best desserts ever. That golden, crisp top layer, the fluffy underside, and then that sweet, gooey fruit. Never had a cobbler? If you like fluffy strawberry muffins fresh from the oven then you are gonna love this strawberry cobbler. I mean, essentially that’s kinda what cobbler is only better. Once I get my hands on some fresh berries I always make a cobbler, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a strawberry cobbler though so I was super excited.
You gotta love the fact that they are so easy to throw together. I usually have the ingredients on hand to whip up a cobbler for dessert. Coupled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and everyone is happy.
I always remember to double the crust mixture when it’s too late. That crust part is the best part of the cobbler in my house.

Notes
Any kind of berry can be used.
Be careful not to over stir batter too much. A few lumps is best.
Feel free to cut down on the sugar.
Delicious! I made the recipe as it was, just a bit less sugar and I substitute the milk for Lactose free milk 2%. Everyone loved it. Thank you!
Delicious! And so easy to make!!!
Can you use frozen strawberries?
Thanks for the recipe! I substituted the whole milk with heavy whipping cream because I didn’t have any whole milk. I used a small round baking dish to bake the cobbler. I had to cook for about 45 minutes to get the center cooked. It tastes so good!! My husband is not a strawberry fan, but he even loved it. I will be making it again and sharing! Thank you!
Best recipe out there!!!
Is it possible to use 2% milk instead of whole milk? Thanks.
Sure, I don’t see why not.
Can this be made ahead and frozen without compromising the cobblers taste and texture?
Can you use skim milk?
Made this today. Had 4 cups of strawberries, did 3/4 cups of sugar. So light and tasty. Will make again!
Delicious! Followed the recipe as written with the minimum amount of sugar called for. Timing was perfect — about 37 minutes. Thanks so much for this great new addition to my dessert options!
I love this recipe; I make it again and again. The only changes I make it in my cast-iron skillet, melting the stick of butter in the cast-iron skillet while the oven is preheating.
