Substitution and Additions
- Berries. Try using other types of berries in this cobbler. Some delicious ideas include peaches, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, and strawberries.
- Combine flavors. Make a mixed berry cobbler by combining different berries for a tasty flavor. Blueberries and blackberries taste great together.
- Lemon juice. Add a splash of lemon juice to the blackberry mixture. It enhances the flavor of the fruit and provides the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. Fresh lemon juice is suggested if you have it.
- Thicken the mixture. You can add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the mixture before baking if it is too runny and you desire it to be thicker.
- Butter. Margarine can be used in this recipe instead of butter. However, we suggest butter and think the flavor is better.
How to Make Blackberry Cobbler
Step 1. Prepare the blackberries. In a large bowl, gently coat the blackberries with the granulated sugar. Then allow them to sit for 20 minutes.
Step 2. Use a separate medium bowl and whisk together the dry ingredients.
Step 3. Then slowly mix in the melted butter. Be careful not to over-mix.
Step 4. Spread the batter into the dish.
Step 5. Spoon the blackberry mixture on top of the batter. Do not stir the blackberries into the batter or combine the ingredients.
Step 6. Bake until golden brown. It will take about 45-55 minutes until the dough rises to the top and is golden brown.
What to Serve with Blackberry Cobbler?
- Ice Cream. Add a scoop of No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream to each serving. It is wonderful on the warm cobbler.
- Whipped Cream. Top the bowls as you serve them with Homemade Whipped Cream Recipe.
It is delicious plain but one or both of these toppings really take the cobbler to the next level.
Can You Use Frozen Blackberries?
Frozen blackberries can be substituted in this recipe. Allow the frozen berries to thaw and drain them before using them in the cobbler.
Don’t skip this step because the excess juice needs to be drained before using.
Storage
Refrigerate the leftovers covered tightly with plastic wrap or transfer them into an airtight container. It will keep up to 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Cobbler is best enjoyed warm and can be reheated in individual servings in the microwave.
We do not recommend freezing cobbler before it has been baked. The texture will change and the crust won’t rise as normal. If you need to make this in advance, you can prepare the berry mixture and freeze it for up to 3 months until ready to use.
