Recipe Variations

  • Use other fruit – You’ll love that this recipe is so versatile in that you can swap the blackberries for other summer fruits. Try one or a mixture of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or peaches.
  • Adding the extra sugar to the top is optional, but it does help the cobbler look and taste sweeter.

Tips for Success

  • Pan Size Matters – A 8 x 8 pan works well for this recipe. If using a 9 x 13 pan, you might want to double the recipe, or at the very least adjust the bake time for a thinner cobbler.
  • Do not over-mix the dough – The dough should be mixed just enough for all dry ingredients to not be dry, they should be moist and lightly mixed together. Don’t over mix, or the dough may not rise above the berries in the dish while baking.

How to Make Individual Cobblers

You can make individual cobbler servings with this best recipe, instead of one big cobbler! To do so, simple divide the blackberry mixture and topping evenly for oven-safe ramekins or small baking dishes. Place each on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet when baking in case of overflow. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

What to Serve with Blackberry Cobbler

I think I’ve mentioned this a few times now, but the answer is: a scoop of vanilla ice cream pairs wonderfully with homemade cobblers. It compliments the dessert so well both in texture and in temperature.

Another option for serving is whipped cream. If you’re my kind of brave, choose both!

Baked Cobbler can be covered with plastic wrap, or stored in an airtight container. Regrigerate for up to 4 days.
