Moist Blueberry Cobbler With Frozen Berries (Print View)

Luscious frozen blueberries beneath a golden, moist biscuit topping. Perfect served warm with vanilla ice cream.

# Ingredient List:

→ Berry Filling

01 - 5 cups frozen blueberries, do not thaw
02 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
04 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - Pinch of 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 slightly cooled
13 - 2/3 cup whole milk
14 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, combine frozen blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and salt. Toss until berries are evenly coated.
03 - Spread the blueberry mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
05 - Pour melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract into the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
06 - Drop spoonfuls of batter evenly over the blueberry filling, covering most of the surface while leaving small gaps for steam to escape and fruit to bubble through.
07 - Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and set, and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
08 - 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 Advice:

01 -
  • The biscuit topping stays incredibly moist, sinking slightly into the fruit for that perfect cobbler texture
  • Frozen blueberries mean you can make this dessert any time of year without hunting down fresh fruit
02 -
  • Overmixing the topping makes it tough, so stop as soon as the flour disappears into the wet ingredients
  • The bubbling fruit is your cue that the cornstarch has activated and the filling has properly thickened
03 -
  • Place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any fruit bubbles that might escape
  • Letting the cobbler cool for the full 15 minutes makes a huge difference in how neatly it serves
