🥘Ingredients

For the Fruit Filling

4 cups frozen mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup whole milk

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen berries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
3Stir gently until the berries are evenly coated, then transfer the mixture to the 9×9-inch baking dish.
4In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
5Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
6Pour the milk into the flour mixture and stir with a fork just until a soft dough forms.
7Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky and shaggy.
8Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the fruit filling, covering most of the surface but leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
9The topping will spread as it bakes.
10Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
11A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean.
12Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
13The filling will thicken as it rests.
14Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

📝Notes

Tips: You can use any combination of frozen fruit, such as peaches, cherries, or mango. If your frozen fruit is very tart, add an extra tablespoon of sugar. To prevent a soggy bottom, make sure the fruit mixture is evenly distributed and the topping is not too thick. For a crisper topping, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top before baking.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Frozen Fruit Cobbler

Q: What kind of frozen fruits can I use for this recipe?

You can use any combination of frozen fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or even peaches. Feel free to experiment with different flavors to find your favorite combination.

Q: Do I need to thaw the frozen fruits before using them?

No, you can use them straight from the freezer. In fact, using frozen fruits helps preserve their texture and flavor.

Q: Can I make this recipe in advance and store it in the fridge or freezer?

Yes, you can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours or freeze it for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake, simply thaw it overnight in the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for a few hours.

Q: How do I prevent the crust from becoming too soggy?

To avoid a soggy crust, make sure not to overmix the batter, and don’t open the oven door too frequently while baking. Also, keep an eye on the temperature – if it’s too hot, the crust might burn before the filling is fully cooked.

Q: Can I substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour?

While whole wheat flour has its nutritional benefits, all-purpose flour provides a lighter texture that’s essential for this cobbler recipe. If you still want to try using whole wheat flour, reduce the amount used slightly as it tends to absorb more liquid than all-purpose flour.
