Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler

Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice)

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cobbler topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

• ½ cup pineapple juice (reserved from the can)

• 1 large egg

Optional topping:

• Powdered sugar for dusting

• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the cream cheese filling:
   In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple.

3. Make the cobbler batter:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
   In another small bowl, whisk together pineapple juice and egg. Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (batter will be thick).

4. Assemble the cobbler:
   Spread the cream cheese and pineapple filling evenly in the prepared baking dish.
   Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter over the filling—don’t worry about covering it completely; it will spread while baking.

5. Bake:
   Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cobbler topping comes out clean.

6. Serve:
   Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
