What Is Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler?
Cobbler is a beloved dessert in the UK and US, typically made with fresh fruit and a biscuit or batter topping. This version includes cream cheese, adding an extra layer of richness and balance to the sweet and tart strawberries.
The batter in this recipe is poured over melted butter in a baking dish, allowing it to rise up and envelop the fruit as it bakes—creating a buttery, golden-brown crust with bursts of juicy strawberries and creamy cheese in every bite.
