Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler

 

Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler

If you love easy desserts, this one is dangerously good. With a golden top, creamy center, and sweet pineapple flavor in every bite, this cobbler is the kind of dessert that disappears fast. It is simple to make, comforting, and perfect for serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a little whipped cream on top.

What makes this dessert so special is the combination of textures. The batter bakes into a soft, buttery cobbler layer, the pineapple adds juicy sweetness, and the cream cheese melts into rich, creamy pockets throughout. Best of all, it comes together with basic ingredients and very little effort.

Ingredients

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained
• 8 oz cream cheese, cut into cubes

Topping

• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Melt the butter

Place the butter in a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized dish. Put it in the oven just until the butter melts, then carefully remove it.

3. Make the batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk until smooth.

4. Assemble the cobbler

Pour the batter over the melted butter.
Do not stir.
Spread the drained pineapple chunks evenly over the batter.
Scatter the cream cheese cubes across the top.

5. Add the topping

Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon evenly over everything.

6. Bake

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly around the edges.

7. Cool and serve

Let the cobbler rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This helps it set slightly while still staying warm and creamy.

Tips

• Do not stir the layers, or you will lose the classic cobbler texture.
• Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest flavor.
• Serve warm for the best gooey, creamy bites.

Serving Ideas

• Top with whipped cream
• Serve with vanilla ice cream
• Add toasted coconut for a more tropical flavor
