Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ⅓ cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blackberry Filling (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, gently toss the blackberries with ⅓ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  2. Make the Crispy Topping (15 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, ⅓ cup sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Stir in milk until just combined.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Spread the blackberry mixture evenly in a greased 8×8-inch baking dish. Dollop the topping over the berries and gently spread to cover, leaving some rustic gaps.
  4. Bake (30-35 minutes): Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  5. Cool Slightly Before Serving (10-15 minutes): Let the cobbler rest to thicken the filling.
  6. Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream: Scoop creamy vanilla ice cream over the warm cobbler and enjoy.

Notes

Keep the butter cold to achieve a crispy, flaky topping. Avoid overmixing the topping to prevent toughness. Use fresh or well-drained frozen blackberries to avoid watery filling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Let cobbler cool slightly before serving to maintain crispness.
