Pioneer Woman Strawberry Cobbler Squares Recipe Ingredients

Filling:

• 3 cups / 450g chopped strawberries
• 1/4 cup / 50g granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 lime, zested and juiced

Crust and Crumble:

• 2 1/2 cups / 310g all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 sticks / 285g salted butter, cubed and chilled
• 1 cup / 220g packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup / 120ml heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (or demerara sugar)

Icing:

• 1 1/2 cups / 190g powdered sugar
• 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

How To Make Pioneer Woman Strawberry Cobbler Squares

1. Prep the oven and filling: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, mix the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and the zest and juice of one lime. Set it aside.
2. Make the crumble mixture: In a food processor, combine the flour, cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the heavy cream and pulse a few more times until the dough just starts to come together.
3. Assemble the base and filling: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust. Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the base.
4. Add topping and bake: Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the strawberries. Scatter the turbinado sugar on top for extra crunch. Bake for 28-30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
5. Cool and ice: Let the cobbler cool completely in the pan. While it cools, whisk together the powdered sugar and lime juice until you have a smooth, drizzling consistency. Once cooled, cut the cobbler into squares and drizzle with the lime icing.

Recipe Tips

• How do I get a perfectly crumbly topping? The secret is using very cold butter. The cold butter pieces create steam as they bake, resulting in a tender, crumbly texture for both the crust and the topping. Don’t let the butter soften.
• Why do I need to cool the cobbler completely? Letting the cobbler cool is a crucial step. It allows the strawberry filling, which is very hot and liquidy right out of the oven, to set up properly. If you cut into it while it’s warm, the squares will not hold their shape.
• Can I use frozen strawberries? Fresh, ripe strawberries will give you the best flavor and texture. If you must use frozen strawberries, thaw them first and drain off any excess liquid to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
• How do I get the right icing consistency? Add the lime juice to the powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time. Whisk well after each addition until you reach a smooth consistency that is thick but still pourable.

What To Serve With Strawberry Cobbler Squares

These delicious squares are a perfect dessert on their own, but they are even better with:

• A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream
• A dollop of fresh whipped cream
• A cup of coffee or tea

How To Store Strawberry Cobbler Squares

Refrigerate: Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The crumble topping will soften slightly over time. Room Temperature: You can also store them at room temperature for up to 2 days.
