This 3 Minute Microwaveable Strawberry Cobbler doesn't skimp on delicious! Use different berries for a quick and custom dessert for everyone, and use frozen berries for a hot treat year round! | Vegan

One of the biggest problems with making desserts around here during the summer is that people seldom want to eat the same thing. Heck, I can’t even get people to synchronize their meals. So needless to say, a quick-prep, ready-anytime microwaveable dessert that’s not a cookie when people feel like having one has great appeal. Cobblers,…
