1 cup chopped dates
1 ³⁄₄ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups flour
¹⁄₄ cup white sugar

¹⁄₄ cup pistachios, chopped
¹⁄₂ cup milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
Creamy Vanilla Yogurt Sauce

directions

For filling; place strawberries, melon pieces (use a melon ball scoop if desired), dates and sugar into a large saucepan. *to chop dates easily, use scissors*.
Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
After fruit begins to boil, reduce heat to medium and continue to simmer for 13-15 minutes being sure to stir often.
Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Pour fruit into a 9x9 pan.
For Biscuit Topping; Place flour, sugar, and baking powder into a bowl.
Cut in cold butter with two knives or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Add pistachios and stir to combine.
Pour in milk and blend until mixture is thick. Do not overmix.
Drop 9 equal spoonfuls over top of fruit filling in rows of three.
Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly and topping begins to brown slightly.
*you may want to place a cookie sheet to prevent it from spilling over onto the oven floor*.
Serve warm with Creamy Vanilla Yogurt Sauce.
For Creamy Vanilla Yogurt Sauce; Combine all ingredients and blend well.
To Freeze: After cobbler has cooled, wrap with tinfoil, label and freeze for up to 2 months.
To serve: Thaw in fridge overnight. Warm in the oven if desired.

love the name. Love the dish.

This cobbler was far too sweet for my taste. I tasted the cobbler before making the Vanilla Yogurt Sauce. Recognizing how sweet the cobbler was, I used a dollop of plain yogurt rather than the yogurt sauce. This helped offset some of the sweeetness. I probably should have looked at the nutritional content before making this. If I had, I probably would have noticed that this was going to be a super-sweet item.

I believe this has some good potential - but written as it is - the fruit is way too sweet, and the creamy yogurt sauce has too much vanilla, giving it too stong a flavor also. I could not eat more than about 3 bites. My DH felt the same way also. I even double-checked to make sure I had read the amounts correctly and I had.
