Can I Make Southern Blueberry Cobbler in Advance?

I think this is made fresh right before serving. Thankfully it is a simple and easy recipe to bring together that doesn't require a ton of time. If wanting to try and save even more time and prep ahead, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lime in a bowl. Wrap tightly in a bowl with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for 24 hours before using. Same for the batter. Mix together and wrap tightly, storing in the fridge for 24 hours before needed. Proceed with the recipe as follows when ready to bake.

How Do I Store Leftovers?

Store leftovers wrapped tightly with plastic wrap in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Should I Refrigerate Blueberry Cobbler?

Yes, refrigerate any leftovers.

What is the Difference Between a Cobbler and a Crisp Dessert?

A cobbler is a fruit usually mixed with sugar and lemon juice baked with dough or biscuit-like topping. A fruit crisp desert has a granola-crumble type topping on top.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Place butter in a 9x13 baking dish. Place in the preheated oven for 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 golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Serve with vanilla bean ice cream and enjoy!

This recipe is easily doubled if needed.
Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plasic wrap in the fridge for 3-4 days.
