🥣How to Make Blueberry Cherry Cobbler
- Start with your two-star fruits: cherries and blueberries. Toss them into a greased casserole dish and stir.
- In one bowl, beat the egg, milk, and sugar until they’re smooth. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in another.
- Mix the two bowls, stirring just enough to combine.
- Add a splash of vanilla for warmth, and drizzle the melted butter into the batter. Pour the batter over your fruit, spreading it gently.
- Put it in the oven at 350°F and bake for about 45 minutes. You want it cooked through and with a golden brown biscuit topping.
🍴Serving Ideas
- A La Mode: Add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top while the cobbler is still warm. The contrast between hot and cold is a classic for a reason.
- Whipped Cream Wonder: A cloud of whipped cream can float atop each serving, adding a touch of creamy sweetness.
- Minty Fresh: Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color and a hint of refreshing flavor.
- Nutty Flair: Sprinkle chopped pecans or almonds over your serving for a satisfying crunch.
💭How to Store
Here’s how to keep your cobbler delicious for days. Let it cool to room temperature before covering it to avoid condensation that could make the topping soggy.
Cover the cobbler with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can freeze the cobbler for up to 3 months. Just make sure it’s in a freezer-safe container.
Warm it up in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or give it a quick zap in the microwave if you can’t wait that long.
⭐Tips
Be sure to check out the step by step instructions
- If you are using fresh cherries, wear an apron when pitting them. The cherry pits can be like mini paintballs. A cherry pitter will also make the job much easier.
- If you use frozen cherries or blueberries, add two tablespoons of flour and stir to coat. You don’t need to thaw them first. The flour will help keep the filling from getting too runny.
- Your batter should be pourable but not too runny. Think pancake batter vibes. If it’s too thick, a splash of milk can loosen it up.
- All ovens are unique, so start peeking at around the 35-minute mark. When the top is golden, and the fruit is bubbly around the edges, it’s time to come out!
📝Reader Questions
You can, especially if your fruit is super ripe and sweet. Adjust to your taste, but remember, the sugar also helps with the texture.
Serve it shortly after baking, preferably while still warm. If you’re storing it, make sure it’s completely cool first to avoid steam turning into moisture in your storage container.
