Raspberry Cobbler recipe
You won’t find an easier or more delightful summer dessert than this simple raspberry cobbler. I say that, because raspberries are my favorite berries. And the biscuit-like crust on top of this raspberry cobbler recipe gives way to a creamy, juicy center, bursting with bright berry flavor.
Here’s a tip: If you are working with super ripe raspberries, like in the heat of summer-type-berries that are fresh off the vine, then feel free to cut back on the added sugar.
Substitute other summer berries or peaches into this easy cobbler recipe as well.
What is cobbler?
Cobbler is a dish made of fruit or a savory filling, poured into a large baking dish. It’s covered with a biscuit dough on top, and then baked!
How do you make Raspberry Cobbler from scratch?
- On the bottom of a 9×13 pan, lay the fresh raspberries, and squeeze juice of 1 lemon over the berries.
- Mix together the melted butter, milk, sugar, salt, baking powder, flour, and vanilla. Pour over the berries.
- Mix together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 Tbsp cornstarch.
- Sprinkle on top of the cobbler mixture.
- Pour 2 cups of boiling water over entire cobbler.
- Bake and serve warm.
How to serve cobbler?
Make sure each serving is warm (I just zap in the microwave for 30 seconds per serving), so the ice cream or whipped cream or gelato melts right into the crust. OH, so good.
This recipe is much better served warm, trust me. Oh, and what is Bonta Salted Vanilla Gelato? It’s made right here in Bend, Oregon.
Can you freeze cobbler?
Yes, you can freeze cobblers.
Bake the cobbler, allow to cool, then cover tightly in plastic wrap. Add foil on top and freeze for up to one month.
It’s easy to reheat in a 350-degree oven.
Quite delicious for your family or company!

Easy cobbler for company
This past weekend we had out-of-town company! We do not eat dessert every night in our house, so I’m always looking for any excuse to make a new dessert.
My friend had left town and left me a bunch of raspberries, so I added some (from the freezer) to make 5 cups. So yes, you can make with frozen or fresh raspberries!
Enjoy!

I added a can of sliced peaches that I needed to use up. The cobbler was so delicious!
Great taste, but it is a bit tart! Scoop of Vanilla ice cream helped!
We love it tart, and it’s delish with vanilla ice cream! Thanks Linda!
