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
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Angie says
Everything is good with this recipe except I only used about half as much granulated sugar. 1/3 cup was way too much for me. I also used about 7 cups of berries
Towanda Demagistris says
Amazingness will transform your life right.
Courtney says
So glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe!
Michelle says
Are it for breakfast it was that good, lol!
Q: Can the pan of it be frozen and thawed/lightly reheated to serve later?
Courtney says
Hmmm.. I haven’t tried this. I’d recommend serving it fresh. Not sure how the cake mix/butter combo would handle the freezer.
Georgiana Cave says
The sauce remained quite runny. Otherwise delicious.
Georgiana Cavev says
Can I use a jiffy mix and halved it?
Sheron says
Can I use just frozen strawberries?
Julie Evink says
Yes that should work fine.
Kelly says
Made this today and mine came out watery. Not sure if I let the berries thaw out long enough or not
Julie Evink says
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that! Frozen will tend to be more watery than fresh fruit. Maybe gently soak up some of the moisture with a paper towel next time or lay them on a paper towel to help!
Kelly says
I actually just put it back in the oven for another 20-25 minutes and it was great. My boyfriend ate 75% of it so I think it was a hit
Julie Evink says
I think it was!
Kimberly Stark says
Do you thaw the berries first?
Julie says
Yes, thaw them first.
