Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Filling

Combine the berries with *sugar* and *cornstarch* in a bowl. Mix until the berries are fully coated. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 2

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the *flour*, *baking powder*, *sugar*, and a *pinch of salt*. Use a whisk to blend all the dry ingredients until they are uniform.

Step 3

Incorporate the Butter

Add the *cold butter*, cut into small cubes, to the dry mixture. Use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles small crumbs.

Step 4

Form the Dough

Add the *cream* and *egg* to the crumb mixture. Gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to over-mix to avoid a tough dough.

Step 5

Top the Filling

Using a spoon, drop dollops of the dough onto the berry mixture in a random pattern, covering most of the berries.

Step 6

Bake the Cobbler

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the dough is golden and cooked through. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

Step 7

Serve the Cobbler

Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Be sure to serve each portion with a generous scoop of *vanilla ice cream* for the perfect summer dessert experience.

Servings

Embrace the goodness of summer fruits by serving this cobbler piping hot with **velvety vanilla ice cream** on top. The contrast of warm berries and chilled ice cream is nothing short of divine. 🍦

**Feeling adventurous?** Experiment by adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fruit filling before baking to introduce a subtle spice kick. It pairs exceptionally well with the sweetness of the berries.

For a **rustic touch**, serve your cobbler directly from the baking dish with a spoonful of whipped cream dusted with powdered sugar. It’s the perfect comfort dessert to enjoy in your coziest corner at home. 🏠

If hosting a gathering, present individual servings in ramekins for a **chic finish** that will surely wow your guests. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a berry trio on top for an elegant touch. 🌿

Variations

Want to enjoy this delightful cobbler gluten-free? Just **swap the all-purpose flour** for a gluten-free blend of your choice. The cobbler topping will still be as flaky and delicious as ever! 🌾✖️

For our vegan friends, consider using a **plant-based butter and coconut cream** in place of the traditional butter and cream. A flaxseed egg can easily substitute the egg. You’ll still savor all the classic tastes with a plant-friendly twist! 🌱✨

Faq

What is the best way to pit cherries?
Using a cherry pitter is the most efficient method; however, if you don't have one, a small paring knife can do the trick. Simply slice around the pit and twist gently.
Can I use frozen berries?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid adding excess liquid into your cobbler.
How can I tell if my cobbler is cooked?
The top should be golden brown, and a skewer inserted into the topping should come out clean. Additionally, the filling should be bubbly around the edges.
Can I make the cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the fruit filling and dough separately and refrigerate. Assemble just before baking to ensure a fresh, bubbly result.
How do I prevent my cobbler topping from becoming too tough?
Avoid overmixing the dough to maintain a tender texture—it should just come together when combined.
Can I add a crunchy topping to the cobbler?
For a little extra texture, consider sprinkling some sliced almonds or rolled oats onto the dough before baking.
