🍍 Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler
📝 Ingredients:
For the Filling:
-
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple (drained, but reserve ¼ cup juice)
-
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cobbler Batter:
-
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
¾ cup milk
Optional Topping:
-
1–2 tbsp brown sugar
-
Sprinkle of ground cinnamon
-
Chopped pecans or coconut flakes for texture (optional)
🔪 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
-
Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Pour melted butter into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish or 2-qt baking dish.
2. Make the Batter:
-
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Stir in the milk and reserved ¼ cup pineapple juice until smooth.
-
Pour batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish — do not stir.
3. Add Pineapple & Cream Cheese:
-
Evenly spoon the crushed pineapple over the batter.
-
In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until creamy.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the pineapple. (It doesn’t need to be spread; it will melt and swirl beautifully as it bakes.)
4. Add Toppings (Optional):
-
Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
-
Add chopped pecans or coconut if using.
5. Bake:
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
6. Cool Slightly & Serve:
-
Let rest 10–15 minutes before serving — the filling sets up as it cools.
-
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
💡 Tips:
-
You can use fresh pineapple — just cook it down a bit first with a little sugar.
-
For a tangier twist, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture.
-
Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated — it’s just as good the next day!
