- 3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Cobbler Topping
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
- Mix the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt until evenly coated.
- Spread the fruit filling into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the cobbler topping by combining the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, milk, and vanilla until a soft dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough evenly over the fruit filling and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes to allow the filling to thicken.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy.
Notes
For the best texture, use fresh strawberries and rhubarb, but frozen fruit works well too—just thaw and drain excess liquid first.
If your rhubarb is especially tart, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the filling to balance the flavors.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic summer dessert experience.
