Did you know cobbler gets its name because the biscuit topping looks like a cobblestone street? Triple berry cobbler is summer in a skillet — bubbling blackberry-blueberry-raspberry filling under a buttery drop-biscuit crust, served with melting vanilla ice cream. Cast-iron rustic dessert in 60 minutes.
Ingredients List
Berry filling: 2 cups blackberries + 2 cups blueberries + 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen) + 3/4 cup sugar + 3 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp lemon juice + 1 tsp vanilla + 1/2 tsp cinnamon + pinch salt
Mix berries: 5 min. Make biscuit dough: 10 min. Bake: 40-45 min. Cool + serve: 10 min. Total: 60 minutes.
Step 1 — Preheat + Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or 9×13 baking dish.
Step 2 — Toss the Berries
In a large bowl, gently toss berries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, salt. Transfer to pan.
Step 3 — Make Biscuit Dough
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Cut in cold butter until pea-sized crumbs. Stir in buttermilk + vanilla just until shaggy dough forms — don’t overmix.
Step 4 — Drop Dough on Berries
Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough over berries (rustic, not even). Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar topping.
Step 5 — Bake
Bake 40-45 min until biscuits are golden and berry juices bubble vigorously at the edges.
Step 6 — Cool Slightly + Serve
Cool 10-15 min to thicken juices. Scoop into bowls with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with mint.
