Description
This Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler is a sunny, creamy, and buttery dessert that turns simple pantry ingredients into an easy recipe everyone will want seconds of. Sweet pineapple, rich cream cheese, and golden cake mix bake together into a soft fruit cobbler that works beautifully for dessert ideas, potluck food ideas, holiday sweets, or a quick family treat after an easy dinner.
Ingredients
1 can 20 ounces crushed pineapple with juice
8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
1 box 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
1/2 cup chopped pecans or sweetened coconut, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Spread the crushed pineapple with its juice evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the pineapple, then stir in the vanilla extract gently.
4. Scatter the cubed cream cheese evenly over the pineapple layer.
5. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and pineapple. Do not stir.
6. Drizzle the melted butter slowly over the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
7. Sprinkle cinnamon, chopped pecans, or coconut over the top if using.
8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pineapple is bubbling around the edges.
9. Let the cobbler cool for 15 minutes before serving so the creamy filling can settle.
Notes
For the creamiest texture, let the cream cheese soften before cutting it into cubes.
Drizzle the butter as evenly as possible so the cake mix bakes into a golden topping without dry patches.
Let the cobbler rest before serving because the pineapple juices and cream cheese filling thicken as it cools.
