Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 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

Crumble Ingredients:

  • 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. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
  2. Prepare the strawberry sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and cornstarch. Add the lemon juice and stir until smooth. Gently toss in the sliced strawberries until they are well coated with the mixture. Transfer the strawberries to a baking dish and dot with the cold diced butter to enrich the sauce during baking.
  3. Make the crumble topping: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter cubes using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the heavy cream and mix until just combined to form a soft dough.
  4. Assemble the cobbler: Spoon the crumble topping evenly over the strawberry mixture in the baking dish, covering the fruit completely but not pressing down.
  5. Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry sauce is bubbly.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • For a lighter crumble, you can substitute half the heavy cream with milk.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
  • Can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
