Blackberry cobbler is a classic dessert that’s both comforting and delicious. Here’s a delectable recipe to make it at home:
Ingredients:
For the Blackberry Filling:
- 4 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving (Optional):
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
- Prepare the Blackberry Filling:
- In a large bowl, gently toss together the blackberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest until the blackberries are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
- Make the Cobbler Topping:
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter over the blackberry filling in the baking dish, spreading it out as evenly as possible. It’s okay if some areas of the blackberry filling are still visible.
- Bake the Cobbler:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Serve:
- Remove the blackberry cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips:
- You can use fresh or frozen blackberries for this recipe. If using frozen blackberries, make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before using.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in the blackberry filling according to the sweetness of your blackberries and your personal taste preferences.
- You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cobbler topping for extra flavor if desired.
- Leftover cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Enjoy this delectable blackberry cobbler as a delightful dessert, perfect for any occasion or gathering!
