A Southern-inspired dessert that’s buttery, tropical, and oh-so-creamy! Pineapple chunks and cream cheese bake into a golden cobbler topping that practically melts in your mouth. Perfect for family gatherings or a sweet treat any time.

📋 Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar (or sugar substitute for WW-friendly)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cans (20 oz each) pineapple chunks, drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cut into small cubes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt butter: Place butter in a 9×13-inch glass baking dish and let it melt in the oven.
  3. Mix batter: In a bowl, whisk egg, milk, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
  4. Layer: Pour batter directly over melted butter (do not stir).
  5. Add fruit & cream cheese: Scatter pineapple chunks evenly over batter, then drop cream cheese pieces across the top.
  6. Bake: Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown and edges are bubbling.
  7. Serve: Cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt.

🔢 Weight Watchers Friendly Adjustments

  • Use reduced-fat cream cheese instead of full-fat → saves points.
  • Swap sugar for a zero-calorie sweetener (like monk fruit or erythritol).
  • Use skim or unsweetened almond milk instead of whole milk.
  • Optional: reduce butter to ⅓ cup for lighter version.

WW Points Estimate (per serving, 12 portions):

  • Flour (1 cup) → ~11 points total ÷ 12 = 1 point
  • Sugar (1 cup) → ~24 points total ÷ 12 = 2 points (0 if using sugar substitute)
  • Butter (½ cup) → ~31 points total ÷ 12 = 2–3 points
  • Cream cheese (8 oz reduced-fat) → ~16 points total ÷ 12 = 1–2 points
  • Pineapple (canned in juice, drained) → 0 points

➡️ ~5–7 points per serving (lower if sugar substitute + reduced butter/cream cheese).

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Add shredded coconut or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a flavor twist.
  • Use fresh pineapple for a brighter flavor.
  • This dish is freezer-friendly—wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months.
