Ingredients

This 6-ingredient shopping list is just what we all want in the summertime when the cooking is meant to be easy.

Self-rising flour: This kind of flour already has a leavening agent in it. If you don't have it, just combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt for every 1 cup a recipe calls for.
Sugar: Sweetens the cobbler batter just right.
Heavy whipping cream: This is our key secret ingredient to making the cobbler rich and almost custard-like.
Butter: Is the fat that brings the whole dessert together and adds so much richness.
Fresh strawberries: Use the best you can find and make sure they're ripe. How can you tell? Slice through the berry and they should be a bright red color almost all the way through!
Ripe peaches: Essential for this recipe to be unbelievably good, make sure they are soft to the touch and not hard. If you need to, you can substitute frozen and thawed peaches. Blot dry with a paper towel before adding to the cobbler.
Brown Sugar and Cinnamon: These are optional for this cobbler. Sprinkle on top for color and an amazing pop of flavor from the caramelization of the brown sugar.
Ice cream or whipped cream: For serving, of course!

Tools You'll Need

How to Make Strawberry Peach Cobbler

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a medium bowl whisk together flour and sugar.

Blend in heavy whipping cream until well combined.

Pour melted butter in a 13"x9" dish.
Pour the batter into the melted butter. Don't mix.

Evenly disperse the fruit on top of the batter. Optional, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.

Bake 60-70 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Serve with ice cream and/or fresh whipped cream.

Expert Tips and Variations

Swap the peaches for another stone fruit. Plums, apricots, or nectarines are also so delicious in this cobbler. We just recommend whatever fruit is in season.
Use frozen and thawed peaches if you can't find ripe ones. This is important because using underripe peaches will ruin this dessert. Thaw then blot dry with a paper towel before adding to the cobbler.
Make your own self-rising flour easily at home. It's too simple, just combine one cup of all-purpose flour, with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt for every 1 cup a recipe calls for.
Add nuts for texture. If desired, you can add some chopped pecans, walnuts, or sliced almonds for a bit of crunch on top of the cobbler.
Change up the flavor with some spices! We've tried adding ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg to the cobbler topping and both add a nice warm flavor.
Homemade Whipped Cream: A dollop of fresh whipped cream is the perfect accent:
- In a large bowl on high speed, blend together 1 cup heaving whipping cream or whipping cream, 2-4 tablespoons powered sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.

Storing

While you probably won't have any leftover (at least we hope not!), here are the instructions for storing the best way.

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
We don't recommend freezing the cobbler as it can compromise the texture.
Reheating leftovers is a breeze. Simply microwave for a few seconds or pop back into the oven for a handful of minutes until warmed through.

FAQs

Should I peel the peaches?

We recommend peeling the peaches for the cobbler, the skin can often change the texture.

My cobbler is runny, how do I fix that?

Before adding the fruit to the baking dish, simply toss it with a teaspoon or two of cornstarch.

Can I use less sugar?

Yes, if your fruit is really ripe then you can reduce the amount of sugar, the natural sweetness of the fruit can really shine!

Can I make this cobbler in advance?

Yes, we recommend you prep the fruit and the topping separately, then combine and bake right before you are wanting to serve.
