Let me tell you the story of how one girl ate nearly an entire cobbler in two days. So I had some strawberries in my fridge that needed to be used and nutella left over from a previous recipe, and the two were screaming to be baked together in some chocolatey fruity delightfulness. And of course, that combination can only be made better when topped with crumbly cream biscuit. So I whipped up this cobbler, and I am not exaggerating when I say whipped up, because it was so easy and barely took any time at all. It came out of the oven and I pulled my camera out to take pictures and whomp whomp, it wasn’t working. I was in a panic, not only because my beloved camera wasn’t functioning, but also because I was determined to eat this cobbler while it was still warm.
I rushed to Best Buy, got a new memory card, and was good to go. And after taking pictures, I was happy to find that it was still warm! And absurdly delicious. I mean, I can’t even describe in words what happens when strawberries are baked in nutella. They get all squishy and sweet and rich from the chocolate. And these biscuits. They are so easy and are the perfect amount of crumbly and moist, all at the same time. So I ate a piece and then cut one for my husband. And then I went to bed and dreamed of the cobbler, and maybe had a piece for breakfast the next day with my coffee. And then accidentally ate slivers of it throughout the day. I had no idea I was even eating it until Ryan came home from work and was shocked to find only one piece left. Oops. I couldn’t help it. It is that good.
This truly may be my favorite dessert. I am normally strictly a chocolate peanut butter dessert girl, but this Strawberry and Nutella Cobbler really takes the cake. These pictures really don’t do it justice because I was in a hurry, so I hope you just take my word for it!
This is the perfect summer dessert to take to picnic or cookout. It is easy, will travel well, and doesn’t need to be refrigerated. And forget about the easiness factor, this is just so good that it begs to be made and shared with people.

This is gorgeous! I would never think to put nutella in a cobbler, but I love chocolate spread so much, so why not!!!??
I had never thought of it before and then after eating it, I realized I had been missing out!!
De-li-cious!! I might have to give this a shot with the addition of some rhubarb I’ve got growing! 😉 Nice photography too, girl.
I think the only thing that could make this better would be rhubarb!! That is a great idea!!
Mmm, it looks delicious!! I’m sure my guys would love to have this sitting around to snack on! I bet it would be gone just as quickly as yours! 🙂
Oh my goodness strawberries AND Nutella?! I would have eaten the whole thing in 2 days too! Can’t wait to try this one!
