Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray an 8 x 8-inch pan with Pam and line the bottom with mango chunks.
- Mix cornstarch and lime juice, then pour over the mango chunks in the pan.
- Sprinkle the Jiffy white cake mix evenly over the fruit.
- Dot the top with half a stick of butter sliced into small pieces.
- Bake at 375°F for 30 to 40 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter cobbler, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar to the mango mixture. If you don't have Jiffy white cake mix, you can substitute it with a homemade cake mix using flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk. To enhance the flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the mango layer. Ensure the butter is evenly dotted to achieve a golden crust.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the mango cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Ground Meat Soup for a savory-sweet meal. For a fresh touch, consider garnishing with lime zest or mint leaves. Enjoy it as a dessert or a sweet breakfast treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mango cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. For a crisp topping, reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, until heated through and the top is slightly crispy.
