Strawberry Cobbler with Biscuit Topping

June 25, 2013 by Audra 22 Comments

So I’ve realized some valuable information about myself…I do really poorly with changing time zones. I always try to seamlessly transition into my new schedule, but this week has been proof that it just doesn’t work that way for me. When we came back from Italy  I needed a whole week to feel normal again. Let’s hope that my 3 hour West coast time change only takes a couple of days? Luckily my week in the glorious sunshine was so lovely that I’m forgetting my grogginess and trying to remember how much I loved California. 

One of my favorite things about my time there was the constant presence of perfectly fresh and ripe produce at every turn. I ate so many juicy plums and nectarines, berries,  and grapes galore. I came back to New York dying to stock our fridge with every fruit possible- as during this mid 90s heat wave- nothing sounds yummier.

cobbler

This cobbler was made from a quart of the most ripe and juicy strawberries from the greenmarket. I purposely left the filling on the juicy side, thinking that some strawberry juices would be so yummy drizzled over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The biscuit topping is so tender and light which makes this a perfect summer dessert. (And confession- I subbed the ice cream for vanilla greek yogurt and had some leftovers for breakfast- so good!!)

    I snatched up 4 (!!!) pints of juicy strawberries from the USQ green market yesterday, so I am totally thinking this cobbler needs to happen!!!

    This is favorite time of year with the abundance of fresh fruit everywhere. When I’m at the store I just buy everything that looks delicious and decide on recipes later! Or I just eat fruit salad for days and days days…

    yummy! This looks fab! In Ireland we call it a ‘Crumble’ not a ‘cobbler’ because of the crumbly topping! :)

    Dessert or breakfast, I bet this tasted amazing! I always think of cobbler as a winter dessert. I’ve never made a summery cobbler but what an utterly brilliant idea. I’ll have to give this a try.
