And for me, one bite of warm cobbler elicits a happy, happy sigh, especially when a scoop of vanilla ice cream melts into the berries and the golden brown cobbler topping.

The aroma? Oh my… the fragrance literally permeates not only the kitchen but the entire house.

As I write and test this recipe, it’s the heart of winter. We’ve had snow on the ground only recently. It’s cold, damp, and blustery at times.

But in my kitchen… it feels like summer!

It tastes like the best of summer too.

In the middle of January… that’s a very good thing.

When I opened a package of frozen blueberries (my own berries having run out during the holidays), the fragrance of those berries instantly transported me to summer blueberry fields in June.

The sun was shining and the air was warm… in my dreams, and in my kitchen too.

Later that evening, curled up in front of a crackling fire with a bowl of warm blueberry cobbler, topped with vanilla ice cream… it was the best of all worlds.

Instantly summer and instantly winter.

This cobbler is a treat for all seasons.

How Does This Recipe Differ from Your Other Blueberry Cobbler?

I absolutely love my Blueberry Cobbler recipe, which is super simple and made in a skillet. It’s quick, easy, and utterly delicious.

This recipe, however, is a more classic southern inspired cobbler with a pillowy, golden brown biscuit topping. Butter is cut into flour and then dropped by spoonfuls onto a hot, bubbling blueberry mixture.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and coat an 8 x 8-inch square or 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice, and blueberries. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Transfer to a baking pan.

How Long Does the Blueberry Cobbler Keep?

Leftover cobbler can be stored, covered, and refrigerated for 3 to 4 days. I like to warm individual servings in the microwave before serving.

Can You Use Frozen Blueberries in this Cobbler?

Absolutely! I’m using frozen blueberries in this recipe. There is no need to thaw the berries.

Making the Cobbler Ahead

If you want to make the Blueberry Cobbler ahead, simply bake as directed. Let cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.

When you’re ready to serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and warm in the oven for 20 minutes, or until warm through.

To reheat individual servings, as mentioned above, microwave for 30 to 60 seconds until warmed through.

  1. I needed a quick, delicious, warm dessert for chilly, rainy evening. This was it! It was quick and delicious! I made it according to the recipe, with two small changes. Instead of spoonfuls, I spread mine out on top, sprinkled a small touch of brown sugar, and after baking, broiled the top for one minute. I served it warm with vanilla ice cream. Perfect!

    1. After reading your review, on a rainy night, it inspired me to make it again for a cozy evening. Thank you so much for trying the recipe and letting me know how you adapted it. I love the way you made the topping!

  2. I’m so glad!! Thank you for trying the recipe and letting me know the ingredients you used and how they worked!! I love this blueberry cobbler too 😍

  3. I have Celiac, so I used some Coconut and Almond flour. This is one of my favorite desserts!
