Blackberry cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert with a sweet, tart filling of juicy blackberries topped with a biscuit-like dough. It’s perfect for summer or anytime you want to enjoy the flavors of fresh fruit in a cozy dessert.
Ingredients (for 6 servings)
For the blackberry filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the biscuit topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the blackberry filling:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly.
- Pour the blackberry mixture into a greased 9-inch round or square baking dish.
2️⃣ Make the biscuit topping:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the cold butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
3️⃣ Assemble the cobbler:
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the blackberry filling. It doesn’t need to cover the entire surface—leaving some gaps will allow the fruit to peek through.
4️⃣ Bake the cobbler:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
5️⃣ Serve:
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Enjoy!
This blackberry cobbler is a delightful dessert with a perfect balance of sweet, tangy fruit and a tender, crumbly topping. It’s a great way to enjoy fresh blackberries when they’re in season!
