I know my life is less than exciting when it is Memorial Day weekend and I am home blogging about food.  Pathetic, isn't it??  Well, as lame as that is, I just couldn't go another minute without sharing this amazing recipe with you.  There are many recipe variations out there in the world for a good strawberry shortcake.  There are even great recipes for a berry cheesecake.  BUT..have you ever had a dessert that combines a cheesecake, strawberry shortcake and a blueberry cobbler??  
This recipe is one of the most bizarre recipes I have made in awhile.  My cute neighbor brought me over a recipe that sounded, to be honest, quite strange.  I decided to give it a try and change it up a bit and what you get is this MOST amazing  dessert I have had in a long time!  This dessert is so rich, moist, smooth, buttery & totally delectable.  You will not want to make another boring strawberry shortcake again.  This dessert is so fun because you will be eating it and you will think it is a totally divine piece of cake.  And then, you will run into a bunch of fruit and think you are eating a cobbler.  And then...you will reach a creamy spot of warm cream cheese and you will melt wondering what wonderful piece of goodness did you put in your mouth!?!  From start to finish this dessert is a definite make again and one I will be serving all summer long (aren't the colors to patriotic and pretty?).  Love it, love it, love it!!! Berry Cream Cheese Cobbler Cake1 stick butter, melted
1 egg
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
1 c. sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
Melt the butter and pour into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.  Spread around evenly over the bottom of the pan.  In a bowl combine the egg, milk, flour, sugar, zest, baking powder and salt until combined.  Pour the mixture over the top of the butter.  Do NOT stir the batter into the butter.  Sprinkle the berries evenly over the top of the batter:
1 1/2 c. strawberries, sliced
2 c. fresh blueberries
In the same bowl the batter was in, combine:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. sugar
Cream together until smooth.  Place a quarter size of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the berries.  Do this all over the top of the berries.

Bake the cobbler at 350 for 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.

Serve the cobbler warm or cold with vanilla ice cream or real whipped cream and more fresh blueberries and strawberries.
Three thumbs up from my kids!  They couldn't even wait for me to bring it back in to the house, they gobbled it up in seconds ;) My son even said, "Mom, I think this is now my 2nd favorite dessert"  That says a lot from him! 


Here is what the cobbler looks like before you put it in the oven.  You can see the melted butter on the bottom coming up around the sides and the cream cheese dollops on top of the berries. A little different method, but it gives amazing results ;)
