Ingredients You’ll Need

The charm of Strawberry Bubble Up is just how approachable the ingredients are. Each one plays a role, whether adding that ruby-red color, crave-worthy chew, or the lush finish of sweet glaze. Gather these, and you’re halfway to dessert bliss.

2 cans refrigerated biscuits: The backbone of the bubble up—these bake into pillowy, golden nuggets that soak up flavor.
2 cups strawberries, sliced: Fresh strawberries bring a burst of color, sweetness, and juiciness that makes every bite irresistible.
1/2 cup sugar: Sweetens the berries, drawing out their natural juices to create the luscious filling.
1 tbsp cornstarch: Thickens the strawberry mixture so it stays jammy and bubbly without getting runny.
1 tsp vanilla: Adds a warm, aromatic depth that ties the filling together.
Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar + 2 tbsp milk: Whisked together, this simple glaze adds a glossy, sweet finish on top.

How to Make Strawberry Bubble Up

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Get started by preheating your oven to 350°F so it’s ready to go when you need it. While that’s heating up, open those refrigerated biscuits and chop each one into quarters. Next, hull and slice your fresh strawberries—no need for perfection, just make sure they’re not too thick so they’ll get juicy and tender as they bake.

Step 2: Make the Strawberry Filling

In a large mixing bowl, toss your sliced strawberries with the sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Give everything a gentle stir so every berry is coated. The sugar starts to draw out juice while the cornstarch ensures you’ll have a beautiful, glossy filling instead of a watery mess. This is what gives Strawberry Bubble Up its luxurious texture.

Step 3: Assemble in the Baking Dish

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to keep everything from sticking. Scatter half of the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom, then spoon half of the strawberry mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining biscuits and strawberries, layering so the biscuits peek through here and there. This creates pockets where the glaze and berry juices collect, making each forkful a new adventure.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Slide your assembled dish into the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the biscuits puff up golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling vigorously around the edges. If the top is browning faster than you’d like, cover loosely with foil for the final stretch. The aroma filling your kitchen is a happy bonus!

Step 5: Glaze and Serve

While the Strawberry Bubble Up cools for a few minutes, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and pourable. Drizzle this glaze generously over the warm dessert, letting it seep into every nook and cranny. Scoop out generous portions and serve while it’s still cozy and warm.

How to Serve Strawberry Bubble Up

Garnishes

Dress up your finished Strawberry Bubble Up with a flourish of fresh strawberry slices, a dusting of powdered sugar, or even a little zest of lemon for a spark of brightness. A dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes it to decadent new heights—totally worthy of celebration.

Side Dishes

Since Strawberry Bubble Up is indulgent and sweet, pair it with something light. A fresh fruit salad or a citrusy green salad makes a refreshing counterpoint. For brunch vibes, serve alongside crisp bacon, or for a dessert spread, add a bowl of tangy yogurt to the table for a balanced treat.

Creative Ways to Present

Try scooping individual servings of Strawberry Bubble Up into mason jars for picnics or parties—guaranteed to impress. For a whimsical twist, top each serving with edible flowers or playful sprinkles to match the occasion. You can even bake in mini ramekins for individual bubble-up desserts with their own personal drizzle of glaze.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you somehow have leftovers (good luck!), cover the cooled Strawberry Bubble Up tightly, and store it in the fridge for up to three days. The biscuits may soften a little, but the berries keep the filling flavorful and juicy even after a day or two.

Freezing

Strawberry Bubble Up can be frozen for up to two months. Once cooled, wrap the baking dish well in plastic wrap and then foil, or portion into airtight containers. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating for best results.

Reheating

To bring those glorious flavors back to life, reheat Strawberry Bubble Up in a 350°F oven until warmed through—about 15 minutes for a full pan, less for smaller portions. A quick microwave zap works in a pinch, too; just cover to keep moisture in. Add a little extra glaze if you like things extra gooey!

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries for Strawberry Bubble Up?

Absolutely! Just thaw and drain frozen strawberries before using to avoid extra liquid that could make the dish soupy. The flavor is still fantastic, so it’s a good off-season swap.

Which type of biscuit dough works best?

Any standard refrigerated buttermilk or regular biscuit dough will do the trick. Avoid flaky or layered varieties, as those can separate too much and become chewy.

Can I make this with other fruits?

Yes! Try blueberries, raspberries, or peaches—either by themselves or mixed with the strawberries. Just be sure to keep the fruit quantity about the same to ensure proper bubbling and baking.

Why do I need cornstarch in the filling?

Cornstarch’s job is to thicken the juices that the strawberries release as they bake. This keeps Strawberry Bubble Up deliciously jammy, not runny, and helps the glaze cling to every bite.

Can I make Strawberry Bubble Up ahead of time?

You can assemble everything except the glaze up to a few hours in advance and keep it in the fridge. When you’re ready, bake as directed, then drizzle the fresh glaze on just before serving for the best texture.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been craving a dessert that’s quick, show-stopping, and absolutely addictive, Strawberry Bubble Up is your next must-try. It’s packed with sweet berries, buttery biscuits, and the kind of glaze you’ll want to eat with a spoon.
