Ingredients

For the Strawberry Sauce

  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
  • 2 Tablespoons cold butter, diced

For the Cobbler Crust

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon salt
  • 3 Tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and baking dish: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly butter a 9-inch round or square baking pan to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  2. Make the strawberry sauce: In a heavy-duty saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens into a glossy sauce. Remove from heat and gently fold in the sliced strawberries, making sure they are evenly coated. Transfer this strawberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and dot the top with 2 tablespoons of cold diced butter to add richness.
  3. Prepare the cobbler topping: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the 3 tablespoons of cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the heavy cream until just combined into a soft dough.
  4. Assemble and bake: Evenly sprinkle the biscuit-like topping over the strawberry filling in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving warm. This dessert pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Dicing cold butter and incorporating it quickly helps create a flaky topping.
  • The lemon juice brightens the strawberries and balances sweetness.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter option, though the crust may be less tender.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
