We used blackberries as they have an intense fruity flavor, which breaks down the strong butter aroma. Serve it straight from the oven to your plate, and you will be coming back for a second piece. And don’t worry if you haven’t prepared a cobbler before; this recipe breaks down the whole process and provides easy-to-follow instructions.
Can I use frozen blackberries?
If you don’t have fresh blackberries, you can use frozen ones. After baking, you won’t notice a difference. Make sure to thaw them and drain the excess liquid before using them so the crust won’t be mushy.
Can I substitute it with other fruits?
Absolutely! The cobbler is a versatile recipe that pairs well with a wide range of fruits. Raspberries and blueberries are excellent choices if you prefer an intense berry flavor. You can also try peaches for a summer-inspired dessert.
What to serve it with?
The blackberry cobbler pairs well with creamy and sweet options. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is an excellent choice, as the richness compliments the tart blueberries. A dollop of freshly whipped cream adds that creamy touch that perfects this dessert. Want to balance out the sweetness with some tangy flavor? Add vanilla yogurt over the cobbler piece and enjoy the fruity and buttery goodness.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Even though the cobbler is best when enjoyed straight from the oven, you can store it in the fridge for later. The blackberry cobbler also freezes well, so you always have a ready-made desert. Wait for it to cool down completely and store it in airtight containers or zip-lock bags.
