Blackberry Cobbler 🫐🥧🌿 Juicy, Sweet-Tart Berries With a Golden Buttery Crust
This blackberry cobbler is rustic, fruity, and baked until the berries bubble beneath a golden, tender topping.
Sweet, tart, and full of summer flavor — it’s best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Ingredients (Serves 8)
For the blackberry filling
- 5 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
For the batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional topping
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Step 1: Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Prepare the blackberries
In a bowl, mix blackberries with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using). Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Make the batter
In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined. Batter will be thin.
Step 4: Assemble the cobbler
Pour the batter evenly over the blackberry mixture (do not stir). The batter will rise up around the fruit while baking.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Step 6: Serve
Let cool slightly before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Flavor Variations
- Add raspberries or blueberries for a mixed-berry cobbler
- Swap vanilla for almond extract for a nutty twist
- Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking
- Use brown sugar in the filling for deeper flavor
Pro Tips
- If using frozen blackberries, don’t thaw them — just toss with sugar and cornstarch
- Taste berries first; adjust sugar depending on how sweet or tart they are
- Let the cobbler rest 10–15 minutes before serving so the filling thickens
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days
Final Thoughts
Blackberry Cobbler is juicy, sweet-tart, and comforting — a classic dessert that tastes like summer in every bite. Simple to make, yet always impressive when served warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Bake it. Scoop it. Enjoy the berry comfort. 🫐🥧🌿
