Ingredients

  • 1 pint mango chunks
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 box Jiffy white cake mix
  • 1/2 stick butter

Instructions

  1. Spray an 8 x 8-inch pan with Pam and line the bottom with mango chunks.
  2. Mix cornstarch and lime juice, then pour over the mango chunks in the pan.
  3. Sprinkle the Jiffy white cake mix evenly over the fruit.
  4. Dot the top with half a stick of butter sliced into small pieces.
  5. 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.
