Serves: 6-8

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 40-45 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Blackberry Filling:

• 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, to enhance flavor)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra sweetness)

For the Cobbler Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter , melted
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Garnish:

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
• Fresh mint leaves

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish.

Step 2: Make the Blackberry Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly.
2. Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 3: Make the Cobbler Topping

1. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the blackberry filling, spreading gently to cover most of the surface (it’s okay if some of the filling peeks through).
2. The topping will expand and puff up as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake the Cobbler

1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes , or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
2. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
2. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or enjoy it plain for a simpler treat.
3. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color, if desired.

Tips for Success:

• Berry mix: Combine blackberries with blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries for a mixed-berry cobbler.
• Adjust sweetness: Taste the blackberries before adding sugar. If they’re very tart, use the full amount of sugar; if they’re naturally sweet, reduce the sugar slightly.
• Make ahead: Assemble the cobbler ahead of time, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if starting from cold.
• Freeze option: Freeze unbaked cobbler tightly wrapped for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 10-15 minutes to the cooking time.
