Fresh Strawberry Cobbler is sweet and buttery with a tender biscuit-type crust. This is a classic comforting dessert you’ll want over and over again.
My mom brought me two gallons of fresh strawberries and two gallons of fresh blueberries from her garden. I have been having crazy fun creating recipes with them. Plan to see berry recipes in the next couple of weeks. I hope you enjoy them!
I’ve been wanting to make a Fresh Strawberry Cobbler for a while now. I always wondered why Strawberry Cobbler wasn’t popular. We always had either Blackberry Cobblers or the ever-popular Peach Cobbler when I was growing up. I think everybody in the world knows Magic Peach Cobbler. I’ve been making it since I was wee little! It’s good and fast, but not want I wanted this time.
Fresh Strawberry Cobbler
Basically, the crust is a sweet biscuit. I used brown sugar to sweeten it slightly instead of granulated white sugar. The brown sugar adds an extra layer of flavor to this biscuit-type topping that plain sugar doesn’t give it. The oats also add a nice flavor and texture to the crust.
I thickened the strawberries using cornstarch to give the fruit body for the sturdy topping. Strawberry anything has been a perennial favorite of mine. Growing up I always asked my mom to make me this Strawberry Cake for my birthday every year. Now, I feel bad asking her to make it so I make it for myself!
This Fresh Strawberry Cobbler is fabulous served hot with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream. It’s also good plain and at room temperature. The strawberries are tart and slightly sweet.

I have lots of frozen rhubarb. Would the recipe change if I combined the two fruits?

It’ll be great with rhubarb, just your fruit combination totals the total that is listed

Looks great! Have you made these with frozen berries? Would you modify the recipe at all? Fresh strawberries are not always easy to find where I live so I freeze them when I find them. Thanks!
