Ingredients

Scale

Base & Batter

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Fruit & Topping

  • 2 cans (20 oz each) pineapple chunks, drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler evenly.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the butter completely and pour it into a 9×13-inch glass baking dish to create a buttery bottom layer.
  3. Prepare Batter: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble Base: Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring. This will allow the batter to form a distinct bottom layer as it bakes.
  5. Add Pineapple: Evenly distribute the drained pineapple chunks across the surface of the batter for a consistent fruit layer.
  6. Add Cream Cheese: Drop the small pieces of cream cheese evenly over the top of the pineapple layer to add creamy pockets throughout the cobbler.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling, indicating it’s fully baked.
  8. Serve: Serve the cobbler warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • Ensure the pineapple chunks are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a slightly different creamy texture.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • Best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving for a warm dessert experience.
