This easy Blackberry Cobbler is made with juicy, fresh blackberries and is topped with a soft, cake-like cobbler topping. It’s a simple, old-fashioned dessert that’s a great way to use up seasonal blackberries.
There’s something undeniably comforting about a warm fruit cobbler, and this Blackberry Cobbler is one of the easiest (and most satisfying) summer desserts you can make. Fresh blackberries bubble up beneath a golden, cake-like topping that has just the right amount of sweetness.
Whether you serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or enjoy it as a decadent breakfast the next day, this cobbler is a classic for a reason. It’s rustic, simple, and incredibly good.
Recipe Tips!
- Berries: You can use a combination of blackberries and blueberries if you prefer.
- Do not stir: It’s important not to stir the boiling water in. The boiling water will sink as it bakes, but you’ll end up with a really runny batter that doesn’t bake properly if you try to stir it in.
- Serving suggestions: I like to serve the cobbler topped with either a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of homemade whipped cream.
Storage
Store any leftover blackberry cobbler in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for 2-3 days when properly stored.
