Easy Berry Cobbler Dessert (Printer-Friendly)

Juicy berries and golden biscuits in every bite. A warm, comforting treat perfect with ice cream or whipped cream.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 6 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
02 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
04 - 1 teaspoon lemon zest

→ Biscuit Topping

05 - 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
07 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/2 cup salted butter, frozen and grated
10 - 3/4 cup heavy cream or milk
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream, for brushing
13 - 1 tablespoon sanding sugar, optional

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Stir gently until the berries are fully coated. Transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Grate frozen butter into the dry ingredients. Use fingers or a fork to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
03 - Stir heavy cream and vanilla extract together. Pour into the flour mixture and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
04 - Scoop mounds of biscuit dough onto the berry mixture, slightly flattening each one. Brush the tops with additional cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar if using.
05 - Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and the filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
06 - Let cobbler rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - For best texture, freeze the butter and use very cold cream to keep the dough light and flaky.
02 - Add 1 teaspoon extra cornstarch if your berries are especially juicy or if using frozen.
03 - Letting the cobbler cool before serving allows the filling to set and enhances flavor.
