Hearty Blueberry Cobbler for a Crowd

This upgraded version of a classic cobbler recipe is ideal for feeding a group of hungry teens—or anyone with a sweet tooth. It’s simple, versatile, and utterly delicious when paired with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (sifted, for a smoother batter)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (adjust slightly for tart fruits like blackberries or cranberries)
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk (room temperature, for a better rise)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature, enhances richness and structure)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but adds a subtle depth of flavor)

For the Filling

  • 2-3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (rinsed and drained if fresh; no need to thaw if frozen)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional, brightens the flavor of the blueberries)

For the Base

  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted (enhances flavor and prevents sticking)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oven rack is in the middle position for even baking.

Step 2: Prepare the Fruit

  1. If using fresh blueberries:
  • Wash and pat them dry.
  • Toss with a light sprinkle of sugar and optional lemon zest for extra brightness.
  1. If using frozen blueberries:
  • No need to thaw—just toss them with the sugar and zest (if desired).

Step 3: Mix the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and milk.
  2. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Add the eggs and whisk again until fully incorporated.
  4. If using, stir in the vanilla extract for a subtle aroma.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

  1. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop.
  2. Pour the melted butter directly into a 9×13-inch glass or metal baking dish, ensuring the base is evenly coated.
  • Tip: The butter will float to the edges, helping create a crisp, golden crust.
  1. Pour the batter over the melted butter. Do not stir. The butter should remain at the bottom.
  2. Evenly scatter the blueberries over the batter. They will sink slightly as the cobbler bakes, creating a layered effect.

Step 5: Bake the Cobbler

  1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
  2. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until:
  • The edges are golden brown and crisp.
  • The center is set and no longer jiggly.
  • The top has developed a crackly, sugary crust.
  1. Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Classic Pairing

  • Scoop warm cobbler into individual bowls or plates.
  • Top generously with a scoop (or two!) of Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream for the ultimate fall treat.

Optional Garnishes

  • A drizzle of warm caramel sauce.
  • A dollop of freshly whipped cream.
  • A sprinkle of powdered sugar for a touch of elegance.

Tips for Success

  1. For a Crispier Crust:
  • Use a metal baking dish to encourage browning.
  1. Flavor Variations:
  • Swap blueberries for apples, peaches, or blackberries for a different twist.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
  1. Storage & Reheating:
  • Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave for 30 seconds per serving.

Why This Recipe Works

The combination of butter, simple batter, and juicy fruit creates a perfect balance of textures and flavors. The butter forms a crispy base, while the batter rises to envelop the fruit in a tender, cake-like consistency. The addition of eggs adds richness, making this cobbler feel indulgent yet effortless.
