Plus, it’s so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been whipping it up all along.

How to Make It

Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

1. Prep the Blackberries
Toss fresh (or frozen) blackberries with sugar, a touch of lemon juice, and cornstarch to create a luscious, jammy filling. Let them sit while you prepare the cobbler topping—this helps the berries release their juices and get extra flavorful.

2. Make the Cobbler Topping
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in milk to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Don’t overmix—this keeps the topping tender and flaky.

3. Assemble and Bake
Spread the blackberry mixture into a baking dish, then drop spoonfuls of the dough over the top. Don’t worry about making it perfect—rustic is the vibe here! Bake until the berries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown. The smell alone will have everyone gathering in the kitchen.

4. Serve and Enjoy
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s heavenly on its own, but a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream takes it to the next level. Trust me, you’ll want seconds!

Pro Tips

• Use Fresh or Frozen Berries: Both work beautifully! If using frozen, no need to thaw—just add a couple of extra minutes to the bake time.
• Don’t Overmix the Dough: A few lumps are fine. Overmixing can make the topping tough.
• Add a Flavor Boost: A pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla in the topping adds a cozy twist.
• Serve Warm: Cobbler is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the crust is crisp and the berries are bubbling.

Storage

• Room Temperature: Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
• Freezer: Freeze individual portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat gently.
