Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) Butter 🧈
- 1 Egg, lightly beaten 🥚
- 1 cup Milk 🥛
- 1 cup All-purpose flour 🌾
- 1 cup Sugar 🍬
- 2 tsp Baking powder ✨
- 1/2 tsp Salt 🧂
- 2 cans (20 oz each) Pineapple chunks, drained 🍍
- 8 oz (1 block) Cream cheese, cut into small pieces ☁️
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and pop it in the oven to melt. 📝🔥
- Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and the lightly beaten egg until just combined. 🥣🌪️
- The Base: Remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter. Do not stir! 🧈🚫
- Add the Fruit: Evenly distribute the drained pineapple chunks over the batter. 🍍🏗️
- Creamy Pockets: Drop the small pieces of cream cheese all over the top of the pineapple. ☁️🧀
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes. ⏲️
- Final Look: The cobbler is done when the top is beautifully golden brown and the batter has risen around the fruit and cheese. ⏲️🎯🤤
- Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. It’s absolutely heavenly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! 🍦🍽️✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- Drain Well: Make sure your pineapple is well-drained so the cobbler doesn’t become soggy. 🍍🚫💧
- Layering Secret: Remember the golden rule of cobblers: don’t stir the layers! The magic happens in the oven as the batter rises through the fruit and butter. 🪄✨
