Fresh Strawberries

Although strawberries are available year round in the grocery store, they are at their peak in the summer. Is there anything more delicious than biting into a fresh, juicy strawberry?

Freshly picked strawberries are abundant in the summer and available at farmers markets and fruit stands. That’s where you will get the freshest, best strawberries, short of picking them yourself!

Once you’ve tasted freshly picked strawberries, you may notice they taste better than store bought strawberries. Unfortunately, cold temperatures like refrigeration, decrease the intense fresh strawberry flavor.

Of course, fresh strawberries will make the most delicious, freshest tasting Strawberry Cobbler.

How To Store Fresh Strawberries: Strawberries have delicate outer skin. Did you know that ripening strawberries on the vine can be ruined by heavy rainfall? The rain damages the soft fruit and leads to the fruit soaking up water.

To preserve your fresh strawberries:

• Don’t wash strawberries until you are ready to use them.
• If you are using them the same day, keep them on the counter at room temperature.
• To store for strawberries for use within a few days, insulate them with paper towels. Add a layer on top and one on the bottom of your strawberries and keep in a sealed storage container.

If you cannot use your strawberries within a few days, freeze them with the directions below.

Frozen Strawberries

Fresh strawberries have a short refrigeration life. So, you might need to freeze your fresh strawberries to preserve them for later use.

How to freeze strawberries

• Without washing, place them on a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen solid.
• Then, store in an airtight container or ziptop freezer bag.
• Let thaw in refrigerator or in a colander.
• Wash just before using.

By freezing strawberries with this method, they can be used as fresh in this strawberry cobbler recipe.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

To make this Bisquick strawberry cobbler, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Strawberries: hulled and quartered or sliced.
  Tip: Use fresh or thawed frozen strawberries. Make sure to drain any excess liquid from frozen berries.
• Instant tapioca: thickens the filling. Look for “instant” or “minute” tapioca. There is a difference. The right tapioca will turn the strawberries and sugar into a perfectly jelled base for this amazing fruit cobbler. Substitute with cornstarch or all-purpose flour if needed.
• Granulated cane sugar: adds sweetness to balance the tartness of the berries. You can adjust based on how sweet your fruit is.
• Bisquick or gluten-free Bisquick: creates the fluffy biscuit topping. If you’re out, try a homemade biscuit mix or use our easy baking mix recipe.
• Milk: brings the biscuit dough together. Whole or 2% milk will yield the most tender biscuits. It is because the milk fat helps raise the biscuits during baking. You can use non-fat and lactose-free milk in this recipe.

Recipe Variations

• Strawberry rhubarb cobbler: Combine strawberries with fresh or frozen rhubarb for a sweet-tart flavor. The rhubarb adds brightness, while the strawberries keep it classic. Add a splash of vanilla extract to round out the flavor.
• Peach strawberry cobbler: Use fresh or canned peaches mixed with strawberries for a summery twist. This combo brings a soft texture and natural sweetness. Bake until the crust is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
• Strawberry blueberry cobbler: A crowd-pleasing combo with juicy blueberries and sweet strawberries. This variation holds up beautifully when baked and has that classic crumble appeal.
• Mixed berry cobbler: Try a blend of blackberries and strawberries for a rich, jammy filling. The bold flavor and vibrant color make this a standout dessert—especially when topped with a scoop of ice cream.

Easy Strawberry Pie Filling from scratch

This Bisquick strawberry cobbler recipe is essentially strawberry pie filling with biscuit topping. But, it is so quick and easy and tastes so much better than canned fruit filling.

Plus, making homemade strawberry cobbler solves all these questions:

• What can I make from strawberries?
• I need a good dessert for a potluck or picnic.
• What do I do with all these strawberries?
• Is there a dessert I can take camping?
• What to do with strawberries that are going bad.

The answer to each of those questions is Strawberry Cobbler! If you have a lot of strawberries, you can easily make double this recipe. Just use two casserole dishes or skillets.

Equipment Used in this Recipe

• Cast iron skillet: Using a cast-iron skillet to make a cobbler is genius. Especially if you are going camping or having a campfire. The cast-iron skillet can go right over a fire grate. Once the cobbler is bubbly and the biscuits are golden, you will know it’s done. As you can see, Strawberry Cobbler served in a cast-iron skillet makes such a nice presentation. Especially for an outdoor potluck or BBQ.

How to Make Easy Strawberry Cobbler

1. Prep the strawberries
   Wash, hull, and quarter or slice strawberries and place in a medium-sized bowl. Add sugar and tapioca and mix well. Let the strawberries, sugar, and tapioca rest for 15 minutes. This allows the tapioca to activate and thicken the mixture while baking.
2. Preheat the oven
   Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Gently stir together Bisquick and milk until only large lumps of flour are visible.

3. Make the biscuit topping
   In a separate bowl, combine Bisquick and milk. Stir gently just until most of the dry mix is absorbed. The dough should still be a bit lumpy—don’t overmix.
4. Assemble the cobbler
   Add the strawberries to the bottom of the casserole dish or skillet. Drop the biscuit mixture by the spoonful, about 8 biscuits total.
5. Bake the cobbler
   Bake at 350ºF for 35–40 minutes, until the strawberry filling is bubbly and the biscuits on top are golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or cream cheese.
6. Cool and serve
   Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Top with whipped cream, cream cheese, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!

Serving Suggestions

Once your strawberry cobbler with Bisquick is fresh from the oven and slightly cooled, it’s time to add the finishing touches. Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of sweetened cream cheese for extra richness. For a refreshing contrast, a scoop of vanilla ice cream melts perfectly into the warm crumble, creating a delicious mix of textures and flavors.

If your berries were a bit tart, a quick drizzle of lemon juice before serving can brighten the whole dessert. Store any leftovers in the fridge, and reheat gently before enjoying again. This cozy dessert is just as good the next day—especially with another scoop of ice cream!
