This amazing blackberry cobbler is loaded with juicy blackberries and topped with our favorite cobbler topping (a cross between a sugar cookie and a buttery biscuit).

If you’re a fan of easy desserts, fruit desserts, or anything that can be topped with ice cream – this recipe is for you! This blackberry cobbler is one of our go-to desserts for spring and summer.

Why you’ll love this recipe

Delicious flavor: Sweet and tart blackberries paired with a sweet and buttery vanilla flavored topping.

Incredible texture: Warm, juicy fruit topped with a soft but crunchy topping.

Quick and easy: This one of the easiest homemade desserts you can make. No special techniques or equipment needed.

Made with basic ingredients: Most of the ingredients needed are pantry staples (flour, sugar, vanilla etc).

Recipe tips

• Use fresh blackberries (if you can). They’ll hold their shape much better than frozen berries.
• Allow the cobbler to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. The juices will thicken up a bit as it cools.
• Serve the cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream.
• Feel free to swap some of the blackberries for another berry. I’ve made this recipe with a combination of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries and it was delicious. Make sure you have a total of about 6 cups of berries.
• Leftovers can be tightly covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave.

FAQs

If you prefer your cobbler heavier on the the topping I’ve included a slightly larger topping recipe in the recipe notes. Preparation and bake time will be about the same.

I think it is best to serve this dessert within an hour or two of being baked. You can refrigerate the leftovers and reheat individual portions in the microwave.

I don’t recommend it, fresh berries are best for this recipe.

Instructions

Filling:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8×8 baking pan.

• In a large bowl, gently stir together all filling ingredients. Transfer to the prepared pan.

Topping (see note):

• In a medium bowl, combine sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the vanilla extract and melted butter and stir until fully combined. The mixture will resemble a cross between a crumb topping and a sugar cookie dough.

• Press pieces of the topping together with your fingers to form flat irregular shaped pieces. Place the pieces of topping all over the top of the blackberries. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the berries are bubbling and the topping is beginning to turn light golden brown. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for about 15 minutes; the juices will thicken up a bit as it cools. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
