Lighter Frozen Blueberry Cobbler
A lighter frozen blueberry cobbler made from scratch with frozen (or fresh) blueberries. Bake and serve with ice cream, or fresh whipped cream!
I love this recipe, because it includes easy ingredients that I bet you already have on hand. And, you can use frozen blueberries! We always stock up on blueberries from Costco, so our freezer has a few bags.
Friends, how are you holding up? From the moment I started this post a few days ago, when I made this blueberry cobbler for company, until now, the world has spun so quickly.
From caution to quarantining at home, our lives have changed so much.
What hasn’t changed, though, is that I work from home, and I’m grateful for my online community. We can hug each other from afar!
We also still have a strong need for connection, and perspective, even in the chaos.

Our friends came for dinner over the weekend, before this all happened. We served taco bowls and Lighter Frozen Blueberry Cobbler for dessert.

- Mix together and sprinkle on top of the cobbler mixture.
- Pour 2 cups of boiling water over entire cobbler.
- Bake and serve.
What defines a 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!
Mostly we think of cobblers in the United States as a berry or a sweet dessert. Although they are not too sweet!
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!
We served it with Vanilla Bourbon Gelato from our local gelato company! I worry about small businesses in this time … it makes me so sad to think about what is happening. We try to buy their gelato in the grocery stores every chance we can!
In the meantime, make a 9×13 pan of cobbler, sit outside by the fire, and invite your neighbors!

Can you substitute Splenda for the sugar?
Hi, Jason. I have not tried it to say that it works. If you do and you like it, come back and tell us!
Can you use Frozen Blackberries?
Yes!
Loved it. My 9×13 pan might be a bit bigger than 9×13, and is very deep, so I wonder if I could add an extra bag (12 oz) of blueberries next time.
You post great recipes, but I never see any nutritional information Included. As a diabetic I won’t even consider making something unless I know how many carbs in a serving. This specific one says “light” what does that mean?
I’m also a diabetic (type 1) and a frequent baker! I find the best and most accurate way to get nutrition info is to use the MyFitnessPal app. I just have the free version and you can import recipes and it calculates everything for you.
Enjoy :)
If I half the recipe is cooking time the same?
The directions call for fresh berries, if we are using frozen – should they be thawed or proceed with the same directions as fresh?
I’ve used them right from the freezer!
Where is the full recipe for the lighter frozen blueberry cobbler? Is there a printable version? Thanks!
