Nothing makes me happier than an easy delicious dessert, and that dessert is strawberry rhubarb cobbler! This is definitely a summer dessert that is easy to throw together and perfect to pair with ice cream.
I have rhubarb growing in my garden, and it is like a field of rhubarb out there. I’ve been sharing with neighbors and baking up different treats with the rhubarb and I finally hit the jackpot with this tasty rhubarb cobbler that has a strawberry-lined middle filling. IT IS SO GOOD! My neighbors brought me two gallons of strawberries, so when life gives you strawberries, you make a strawberry dessert, right?
What does rhubarb taste like?
To me rhubarb gives a bit of a sour tang to desserts it is included in, and I love it! There is a reason there are so many rhubarb recipes out there—because it is tasty by itself and because it pairs so well with so many different fruits. Rhubarb is more common in the north, but you can purchase it in some grocery stores in the south. I am happy to live where rhubarb is abundant. Growing up, my town would actually hold a rhubarb festival where you would bring your largest rhubarb leaf and compete for prizes while eating all kinds of delicious rhubarb desserts.

How do you make strawberry rhubarb cobbler?
Easily! Start by lining the baking dish with the chopped rhubarb.
Make the gooey strawberry center by tossing the sliced strawberries in the sugar and cornstarch and allowing this mixture to sit and the juices to escape the strawberries. Add in the vanilla to the strawberries.
After allowing the strawberries to sit for 10 minutes, pour the mixture over the rhubarb. During that ten minutes, make the crust by combining flour sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla. Fold in the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined then spread out over the top of the strawberries and rhubarb. Baking at 350F for 60-65 minutes until golden brown!
