• 1/4 cup / 50g granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (cornflour in the UK)
• 1 lime, zested and juiced

Crust and Crumble:

• 2 1/2 cups / 310g all-purpose flour (plain flour in the UK)
• 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 (double cream in the UK)
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (demerara sugar in the UK)

How To Make Strawberry Cobbler Squares :

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F / 190°C.
2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lime zest and juice. Set aside to let the flavours combine.
3. Make the crust and crumble: In a food processor, combine the flour, cubed butter, brown sugar, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly. Add the heavy cream and pulse a few more times until the mixture starts to come together.
4. Assemble the cobbler: Grease a 9×13-inch (23x33cm) baking pan with butter. Press two-thirds of the crumble mixture into the bottom of the pan to form a base. Spread the strawberry mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the strawberries, and then scatter the turbinado (demerara) sugar on top for extra crunch.
5. Bake: Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the strawberry filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
6. Make the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar (icing sugar) and lime juice until smooth.
7. Cut and serve: Once cooled, cut the cobbler into squares. Drizzle with the lime icing and serve!

Recipe Tips

• Use Cold Butter for the Crumble: Make sure the butter is cold and cubed before mixing. This helps create a crumbly texture and prevents the base from becoming too dense.
• Don’t Overmix the Crumble: When combining the flour and butter, pulse only until crumbly. Overmixing will cause the butter to melt, and you won’t get that perfect crumble on top.
• Fresh Strawberries are Best: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the filling. Frozen ones can make the cobbler too watery, and the flavour won’t be as vibrant.
• Wait for the Cobbler to Cool: Let the cobbler cool completely before cutting into squares. If it’s too warm, the filling may be too runny, and the squares won’t hold their shape.
• Adjust Lime Juice in Icing: Add the lime juice slowly when making the icing. You can control the thickness this way, so it doesn’t get too runny or too thick.
