This cobbler is a simple recipe, it comes out delicious every time. If you love things that have a tart and sweet taste, this recipe is for you.

Every spring, I look forward to fresh rhubarb. This is an easy recipe that anyone can make. And it is something that young and old will fall in love with.

Helpful Tips

  • I like to peel the rhubarb before cutting it up for this recipe. It is optional, but I would recommend doing so. It will remove a lot of the stringy stuff from the rhubarb.
  • Try to cut the pieces of fruit to the same size. This will help with baking the fruit evenly. I cut the rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Choose strawberries that are ripe. This will give the cobbler a better flavor.
  • Use cornstarch as a thickener for the cobbler. It will give the sauce a smoother texture.
  • The cobbler is done when the biscuits are golden brown and the sauce has thickened.
  • Cool the dessert before serving it. This will let the sauce thicken before it is served.
  • Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.
  • Reheat individual servings in the microwave until the desired temperature is reached, or heat in an oven that is set at 350 degrees.

Ingredients

Filling

  • Rhubarb – I like to use fresh rhubarb for this recipe. I like to peel the recipe to remove some of the stringy outside, but this step can be skipped if desired.
  • Strawberries – Ripe strawberries are used for the best flavor.
  • Sugar – To sweeten the rhubarb.
  • Cornstarch – Gives the fruit filling a smoother, silkier texture, and works better than flour.

Biscuits

  • Flour – All-purpose flour works for this recipe.
  • Sugar – To give a bit of sweetness to the biscuit.
  • Baking Powder – To help the biscuit rise. Do not use old baking powder.
  • Salt – It is used to enhance the flavor of the biscuits.
  • Butter – Salted or unsalted butter will work.
  • Milk – I use 2% milk
  • Egg – A large egg is best for this recipe.

Notes

  1. I like to peel the rhubarb before cutting it up for this recipe. It will remove the stringy stuff from the rhubarb. 
  2. Cut the rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces. The strawberries should be cut into thin slices. Try to stay uniform with the size of the pieces. 
  3. Use ripe strawberries for a more flavorful cobbler.
  4. Use cornstarch as a thickener for the fruit. It will give a smooth texture rather than flour.
  5. Cool the dessert for about 30 minutes to let the sauce finish thickening. Serve it up with a scoop of ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
  6. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Cover with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. 
  7. Reheat the cobbler in the microwave until it reaches the desired temperature.
