Strawberry Cobbler baked in a solar oven is the perfect dessert to serve to your guests on a hot summer evening. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top to make it a dessert your guests will not forget.
Strawberries! the fruit of summer. Strawberry shortcake. Strawberry lemonade. Strawberry ice cream. And don’t forget Strawberry Cobbler.
I love recipes that are easy to make, especially when solar cooking. Strawberry Cobbler is one of my favorite desserts to cook when we take our solar cooker out on the road. I mix up the dry ingredients for the topping ahead of time so that I can just add the wet ingredients, stir it up, and set it out. And if you don’t have strawberries, substitute peaches or any other fruit available.
Strawberry Cobbler
I baked my Strawberry Cobbler in a Solavore Sport Solar Oven, for 2 hours at an oven temperature of 300°F (149°C). The time it takes to cook in a solar oven depends on the type of oven being used, the type of food, and the weather. To learn more, readHow Long Does It Take To Cook In a Solar Oven

Strawberry Cobbler. This easy to make cobbler is loaded up with fresh strawberries, and topped with a sweet, vanilla cake that gets a crisp crust on the outside and is soft and buttery on the inside. Top with some vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!

Did you cover the cobbler while baking?
Hello, That is a really good question. No, I did not cover the cobbler. As a rule, I never cover baked goods like cookies, brownies, cake, muffins, pies, and cobblers. I want the moisture to cook off. Use a pot with a lid for things like roasts, chicken, other meats, stews, and vegetables that you want & need to hold in the moisture and the heat to help tenderize and keep moist. Merry
Looking forward to making this delicious dessert a LOT. Especially when our local U-Pick-It farm posts “the berries are ready!!”
HI, Dessert do very well in the solar cooker and who doesn’t love dessert? Merry
