Mixed Berry Filling

  • Frozen Mixed Berries: such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.

Streusel Topping

How do i store leftover cobbler?

To store, simply scoop it into an airtight container and place it in the fridge. It should last for at least 3-4 days. Or you could put it in the freezer for up to a month. It could last longer but you risk ruining the flavor from freezer burn.

Can i prepare the cobbler in advance?

You can prepare the berry filling and the topping dough separately in advance. Store them in the refrigerator for up to a day. Assemble and bake the cobbler, then bake just before serving for the best results.

Can i make this mixed berry cobbler recipe gluten-free?

Yes, you can make a gluten-free version by using a gluten-free flour blend in place of regular flour for the topping.

Can i use fresh berries instead of frozen ones?

โ€‹Of course! I only chose frozen because the bag is already mixed, they’re available year-round, are generally cheaper and are even fresher because they’re flash-frozen as soon as they’re harvested. But if you find a good deal for all of the fresh fruit then that’s perfect and will work just fine.

Absolutely! This recipe is versatile and works well with a variety of fruits. You could use this recipe to make a peach cobbler or apple cobbler. Just be sure to adjust the sugar accordingly based on the sweetness of the fruit.

    Made the 2x recipe with 10 oz mixed frozen berries. It was delicious but should have made even more of the topping. There was a lot of open spots because of to little topping. Also using frozen berries it will definitely be more liquid after itโ€™s baked.

    1. Chahinez says:

      That is true I would let the berries thaw first and strain the liquid out if you’re going to use frozen.

  2. Cindy says:

    Can you use fresh fruit

    1. Chahinez says:

      Yes you can ๐Ÿ™‚

    My family loved it. I did add more sugar because my berries were tart and 1/2t of almond extract to the crust. It was delicious!
