Who doesn’t love fresh strawberries? The tempting aroma of sweet fruit baking in the oven is a heavenly way to finish off a meal. I’m always on the lookout for fresh, in-season ingredients, and fresh berries are one of my absolute favorites! Strawberries are great for baking because they have tons of sweet juice but still hold their shape after baking. Leaving you with a beautiful pan of bubbly, gooey cobbler topped with pretty strawberry pieces poking through. I love making this strawberry cobbler recipe for my family and seeing their happy faces as they enjoy this delicious creation.

Tips and Tricks
Make-Ahead Instructions
For stress-free desserting, you can make the cobbler batter and topping ahead and store them in the fridge separately. Once it’s time to bake, you can put the dish together as you usually would. You may want to let the batter come to room temperature so it pours easier.
Serving and Storage Instructions
Serve your fresh baked cobbler warm with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. Replace the ice cream with whipped cream or go all out and have both! You can store the baked cobbler for 2 days on the countertop or in the fridge for 4 days. It also freezes nicely wrapped in plastic or a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw the cobbler in the fridge overnight (it may be a little soggy, but it’s still good). You can warm it in the microwave for a few seconds or in a 350℉/177℃ oven for 10-15 minutes.
What to Serve With Strawberry Cobbler
I love serving this dish as a sweet, fresh-tasting finisher after hearty main courses like Southern black-eyed peas or smothered chicken. It’s also not bad with a chai tea latte.
