Berry Cobbler with Cake Mix

This easy cobbler is all about the fruit! It’s made with three different berries and bakes up sweet and a little tart with that soft cobbler topping – it’s basically amazing! And you don’t have to wait until berry season to make it – you can use fresh or frozen berries so you can make this pretty dessert all year round.

What makes a cobbler a cobbler?

It’s a type of baked fruit dessert that is topped with batter or sometimes biscuits that bake up as a soft and delicious topping for the fruit.

This is a dessert I’ve had up my sleeve for a long time because it’s so easy to make and perfect whether I make it as a treat for my little family or if we have friends and family over for special dinners.

It’s almost made from scratch but I use one sneaky shortcut to make it super easy – cake mix! Gotta love it – it makes the best topping. I always have a few boxes on hand and use them to make this cobbler or cake mix cookies or even crumb cake. It’s one of my favorite short-cut ingredients.

Of course, we’re adding some other ingredients to fancy it up and give it that homemade taste – it’s so good no one will even guess you used a cake mix! When you pull this berry cobbler bubbling hot from the oven everyone will line up to try it! It’s sweet and fruity and perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Triple Berry Cobbler Ingredients

• You can also use other combinations of fruit – peaches and blueberries are a great combo or try cherries or blackberries!
• For the cake mix, you can use yellow or white cake mix – it’s your choice.

I love this berry version, but it’s so easy to switch it up to give it your own spin!

Can you substitute frozen berries for fresh in cobbler?

• What I love about this recipe is that you can use fresh or frozen fruit! I usually buy the frozen mixed berries which are a combination of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. You can also use all of the same kind of berry if you don’t want to do a mix.

How to Make Berry Cobbler

1. Mix Berries – Combine the berries with the lemon juice and brown sugar in a large bowl. Spread the fruit in a baking dish. As the berries bake they will release their juices that will mix with the lemon juice and sugar creating a delicious sauce!
2. Topping – Combine the cake mix, softened butter and milk in a bowl. The mixture will have some small lumps and that’s okay! Spread the batter over the top of the fruit and then sprinkle the granulated sugar over the top. The sugar will give the cobbler topping a nice sugary-crunchy texture after it bakes. So good.
3. Bake – Place the cobbler in preheated oven for 45 minutes at 375 degrees F or until the topping is browned and the fruit is bubbling hot. Let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes before you serve it. The juices will thicken up as it cools.
4. Enjoy – Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. The ice cream will melt into the cobbler creating so much deliciousness! Or serve it with dollops of homemade whipped cream, too!

Using frozen fruit makes this an all-year dessert but it’s especially nice during the summer when berries are in season! Scooping up that warm fruit with that cobbler topping is the perfect way to end dinner on a sweet note! It’s always a hit when I make it – I think your family will love it, too!
