What is a Cobbler?
Cobbler is a baked dish consisting of flour and fruit. Cobbler is usually served with whipping cream or ice cream on the side. You can use any fruits of your preference.
I am using Strawberry today. You can also use blueberry, Raspberry, or even mixed berries. Apple also works well.
Instant Pot Cobbler
I love making desserts on my Instant Pot. The texture of the cobbler that is baked in the oven and the Instant Pot really has its difference. In the oven, you have the perfect crust and with Instant Pot the cobbler is baked to perfection with the perfect texture.
However, I in believe in leaving no stone unturned and the perfect solution is using the crisp lid. It gives you a crisp or perfect broil on top of the dessert giving you a perfect finishing touch.
Ingredients
Strawberry - Use fresh juicy strawberry or you can also use frozen. If using frozen strawberries thaw for a while and then use.
Sugar - Use refined sugar or Brown Sugar. If using brown sugar the color of the cobber is slightly different. Also, we combine the sugar with the strawberries. So that it drips its juice.
Butter - Use soft unsalted butter for the cobbler.
Milk - Adds wetness to the batter and helps in the perfect blending of the ingredients.
Baking Powder - Helps in the raise and texture of the cobber as it bakes.
Salt - A pinch of salt in any dessert enhance its taste.
Vanilla Extract - For the perfect aroma. Use pure vanilla extract.
Flour - All-purpose flour works well for the cobbler
How to make strawberry cobbler
Prepare the strawberry
Wash the strawberry well and then chop and remove the leaves. Chop the strawberry roughly and add them to a bowl. To this add, in ¼ cup of sugar. Combine everything and set aside.
Prepare the batter
In another mixing bowl, add ⅓ cup of soft unsalted butter. To this add, in ½ cup of refined sugar.
Cream them togther until combined.
Next, add in 1 cup of milk and combine everything. Few lumps are ok.
Add in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1.5 tsp of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Fold everything gently without any lumps. Also, add in 1 tsp of Vanilla extract and fold the batter once again.
Transfer the batter to a greased baking pan and top the batter with the prepared strawberry. Cover the baking pan with foil on the top
Bake in Instant Pot
Add 1 cup of water to the inner steel pot of the Instant Pot. Place the baking pan on top of a trivet or the basket.
Note: I divided the batter into two portions and baked it in a square baking pan of 5 * 5 inches. I baked twice. however, you can place a trivet and bake at the same time with two baking pans.
Close the instant pot and turn the pressure valve to the sealing position. Set 25 mins in high pressure. After the baking time, Wait for a natural pressure and then open the instant pot.
Once the pressure knob goes down and the pressure is fully released open the instant pot. Take the baking pan out along with the basket. Remove the foil and let it cool completely. Instant Pot Strawberry cobbler is now ready. Enjoy with some Vanilla Ice cream.
Tips & Variations
- Instead of Strawberry, you can also use blueberry or mixed berries. Peach or apple also works well.
- I have adapted this cobbler for the Instant Pot. Divided the batter equally and baked it in two batches.
- I used a 5*5 square ceramic baking pan. This pan perfectly fits in my 5 qt Instant Pot.
Storage Suggestions
Cobbler stays good for 3 days in the fridge. Let the cobbler cool completely and the store.

I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but the ingredients list calls for 1/2 cup sugar, while the instructions call for 3/4 total sugar. Which is correct?
sharmila kingsly
Ingredients have 1/2 cup sugar to be added in the batter and 1/4 cup to be added to the Strawberry! So it matches !!

Hi Sharmila! I made this yesterday and I have to be gluten-free. So I used Cup 4 Cup (not Bob’s Red Mill) and I found if I let it cook 27 to 28 minutes it was done in the middle. Gluten-free flour is usually made from rice so the cooking is a little different. However, this was incredibly delicious and I’m anxious to give it a shot with some blueberries that I have. My sister lives in another state she said the blackberries are coming on like crazy so she’s going to try it with those! 20 stars! YUM
