🍍 Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler

A Southern-Style Dessert with Tropical Flair and Creamy Goodness

Introduction:

There are some desserts that feel like a warm hug. The Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler is one of those dishes — a beloved Southern-style treat infused with tropical brightness and comforting creaminess. It’s the kind of dessert you bring to potlucks, holiday gatherings, Sunday dinners, or when you just want to spoil your loved ones with something unforgettable.

Combining the buttery richness of a traditional cobbler with the tang of cream cheese and the sunny sweetness of pineapple, this dessert is simple to prepare but tastes like you spent all day baking. It’s crispy around the edges, soft in the middle, creamy in every bite, and delicious served warm — especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

🍍 A Bite of History:

The cobbler is a classic American dessert that dates back to the early settlers. Without traditional ovens, they cooked fruit with biscuit-style doughs in pots over open fires. Cobblers evolved across regions — from berry cobblers in the North to peach and cherry cobblers in the South.

The cream cheese twist came later, especially with the Southern love for rich, comforting, creamy desserts (think: chess pie or cream cheese pound cake). Pineapple, a symbol of hospitality, has often been used in Southern desserts like upside-down cakes — and here, it brightens up the cobbler with tropical flair.

This recipe brings it all together: tradition, richness, and warmth with a tangy, modern twist.

📋 Ingredients:

Serves 10–12 | Prep Time: 10 min | Bake Time: 40–45 min

  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2% recommended)
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, with juice
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into small cubes
  • 2–3 tbsp white or brown sugar (optional, for topping)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for warmth and flavor)

🍽️ Method:

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring it coats the bottom.

Step 2: Make the Batter

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Slowly add the milk, whisking until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

  • Pour the batter over the butter in the baking dish. Do not stir — the layering is key to the cobbler’s magic.
  • Spoon the pineapple chunks and juice evenly over the batter.
  • Dot the top with the cream cheese cubes, tucking them in randomly so each scoop gets creamy bits.

Step 4: Add Optional Topping

  • Sprinkle the top with brown sugar and a dusting of cinnamon, if using. This creates a caramelized, slightly spiced crust.

Step 5: Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

  • Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes so it sets slightly.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
