Triple Berry Cobbler

Triple Berry Cobbler calling your name! Well friends, summer certainly is here with a vengeance. Does counting down the days until cooler weather arrives make time go slower, like a watched pot that never boils? I love the slower pace of summer, but boy what I’d give to go outside without fear of melting.

But take heart – at least we have berries! And so we take each day as it comes, knowing nothing lasts forever, and we make a big pan of this delicious Triple Berry Cobbler to distract ourselves.

I’ve had a berry cobbler on my recipe testing to-do list for a while… I love the idea of a cobbler because it’s so much easier to make than a pie. This Triple Berry Cobbler is particularly flexible because you can use whatever berries you have on hand. Fresh or frozen, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries all work wonderfully.

There’s nothing fussy about it, and you can’t mess it up. It’s really just a basic berry filling with some rustically shaped sweet biscuits on top, all baked together in one big happy dish. In fact, the actual definition of “to cobble something together” is the perfect description of how to make it. It says, “To make something quickly, without a lot of care, with whatever is available.” We can do that!

The berries swim in their own syrupy juices, and the sweet biscuit-like cobbler topping floats proudly on top. I like to brush the top of the cobbler dough with heavy cream and then sprinkle sparkling sugar on top. Can you see that crusty sweetness on there?

My cobbler topping definitely leans more toward biscuit than cake. This particular style of cobbler makes me nostalgic for the way my mom always makes strawberry shortcake – more of a biscuit-like shortcake from a recipe on side of the Bisquick box. Maybe you grew up with that too?

I like that the cobbler can hold its own crumb without getting too soggy and that it just melts right into that warm berry trio as it is scooped out of the baking dish. I think berry cobblers are best accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream, don’t you?

Sometimes you just need to make something sweet that brings you joy and share it with others when things get a little too hot to handle. In Arizona, we take that very literally! Wishing you happy baking and sweet summer days wherever you are.
