Description
Mixed Berry Cobbler is a classic dessert featuring a blend of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, sweetened and thickened with a hint of lemon, and crowned with a golden, biscuit-style topping. The cobbler is baked until the berries are bubbling and the crust is crisp and golden, creating a delightful balance of tart fruit and sweet, tender dough. Perfect for family gatherings, this dessert is best served warm—plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—for a deliciously comforting treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix gently to coat the berries.
- Transfer the berry mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, whisk together heavy cream and egg. Add to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough over the berry filling, leaving some gaps. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling around the edges.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
You can substitute frozen berries for fresh—do not thaw before use. For a dairy-free version, use chilled coconut cream and plant-based butter. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving. If the topping browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes. If the berry filling seems runny, add extra cornstarch. For gluten-free, switch to a gluten-free baking blend.
