Strawberries may not be at the height of their season, even here in California, but if you roast them with a little vanilla paste and sugar and drizzle them over some high-quality, strawberry ice cream (yep, splurge for the Hagen-Daz) they are sublime!

What is a cobbler dessert?

A cobbler dessert is any fruit-based dessert that is baked in a large baking dish and covered with a biscuit, cake batter, or dumpling. They are a popular quick dessert recipe to serve in the summertime when the fruit is plentiful and no one wants to spend all day in the kitchen.

The best part of this recipe is the light and flakey biscuits, similar to the texture of my Strawberry Scone Recipe. When serving this for Valentine's Day I like to cut them out in a heart shape, really adds to the charm. Enjoy!

Bake the Cobber in a Cast-Iron Skillet

I like to use a cast-iron skillet because it creates nice even heat and the fruit gets nice and syrupy in the process. It also makes it easy to serve oven-to-table once it's done. 

Once your fruit is leveled out, you can make the biscuits and place them on top. You could do drop biscuits, round biscuits or pick a shape for special holidays. Hearts are cute for Valentines' Day, but you could also use stars for Memorial Day or the 4th of July.

Give your biscuit room to expand since they do puff up a bit in the oven. I also like to brush each one with some heavy cream before baking to allow them to develop a nice shine. 

You could also prepare the cobbler in advance and then place the skillet in the refrigerator. Then when you sit down to dinner place it in the oven to bake.
