We can't get enough of this southern blueberry cobbler around here! Juicy summer blueberries (fresh or frozen!) and just enough sweet southern dough - this is one of the easiest dessert recipes that I know you will love! Basically a dump-and-bake kinda situation. Serve it with vanilla bean ice cream, and you'll be in summertime dessert heaven! The recipe yields enough for 6.
When I tell you this berry cobbler with frozen berries doesn't last 2.5 seconds in this house, I am not lying! If they could bottle up the smell of this baking in the oven and sell it in candle form, someone would be a millionaire! Oh wait, I am pretty sure Bath and Body Works already does that!
While we have tons of Southern-style desserts here at Fueling a Southern Soul, I must say summertime desserts have my heart. I am looking at you peach cobbler and strawberry shortcake biscuits with whipped cream ... I am getting hungry just thinking about it! Let me walk you through step by step of exactly how easy this frozen berry cobbler is!
Let's bake y'all - I like to call this a dump-and-bake kinda recipe - it's so easy anyone can do it!
⭐️ Recipe Tip ⭐️ I love using ripe and juicy fresh summer blueberries in this recipe. However, I tested it (and made it for my family personally) with frozen blueberries, and it worked beautifully, too. Try to use fresh if you can, but if you're out of season or just can't get fresh, frozen will work just fine! My triple berry brown butter crisp uses a similar fresh or frozen berry method.
After making this recipe numerous times each summer, I have found this size recipe works best for our family or small gathering and serves 6 perfectly. BUT it is easily doubled, which I do if I am taking this over to my parent's house for a family dinner. You do whichever is best for you - none of it is any extra work.

Ingredients
- ½ Stick of Butter
- 1 Pint Fresh Blueberries (roughly 2 Cups*)
- ½ Cup of Sugar
- Juice of 1 Lime + the zest
- ½ Cup of Flour
- ½ Cup of Sugar
- ½ Cup of Cream
- ½ Cup of Whole Milk
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste (or 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract)
- ⅛ Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Place butter in a 9x13 baking dish. Place in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes to fully melt the butter.
- In a bowl, add blueberries, sugar, lime juice, and zest. Mix to combine fully.
- In another large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla, cream, and milk. Whisk until fully combined. This should be a runny batter consistency.
- To the hot pan with melted butter, pour in batter into the pan, then add the blueberries on top. There is no need to mix or stir. Just dump in the batter on top of the melted butter, then blueberries. Everything will bake evenly in the oven.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until it is golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Serve with vanilla bean ice cream and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use frozen blueberries in this recipe - just use 2 cups instead of 1 pint of fresh.
