Moist Blueberry Cobbler With Frozen Berries (Printable)

Luscious frozen blueberries under a golden, moist biscuit topping. Perfect warm dessert ready in 55 minutes.

# What You Need:

→ Berry Filling

01 - 5 cups frozen blueberries, unthawed
02 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1 pinch salt

→ Cobbler Topping

07 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
09 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
10 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
11 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
13 - 2/3 cup whole milk
14 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, combine frozen blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until berries are evenly coated, then transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.
03 - In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
04 - Pour melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; the batter will be thick. Avoid overmixing to prevent toughness.
05 - Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the blueberry mixture, covering most of the surface while leaving some gaps for steam to escape and fruit to bubble through.
06 - Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
07 - Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes to allow the filling to set. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The frozen berries actually break down beautifully, creating their own syrupy sauce without any extra effort
  • That biscuit topping stays incredibly moist thanks to melted butter instead of cold butter cut in
  • It comes together in about 15 minutes of hands on time, making it perfect for weeknight desserts or last minute guests
02 -
  • That thick batter is intentional, do not be tempted to thin it out or you will lose the lovely cobbler texture
  • The fruit will seem very liquidy before baking but cornstarch works its magic in the oven
  • Serving warm is non negotiable for the full experience, but it needs those 15 minutes to set slightly
03 -
  • Place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any potential overflow from those bubbling fruit juices
  • If your topping is browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes
