A quick and easy mulberry cobbler that combines juicy mulberries with a fluffy, buttery crust, served warm with vanilla ice cream for a perfect summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh mulberries (600 grams), washed and stems removed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams), adjust to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125 grams)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (180 ml), or almond/oat milk for dairy-free
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (57 grams), melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, gently toss the mulberries with 3/4 cup sugar. Add lemon zest or juice if using. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  4. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable; avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the mulberries and their juices into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
  6. Dollop spoonfuls of batter evenly over the fruit, allowing some berries to peek through.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Berry juices should be bubbling.
  8. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes to thicken the juices.
  9. Serve warm topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If batter is too runny, add 1 tablespoon more flour next time. Adjust sugar based on berry sweetness. Use fresh mulberries if possible; if frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid. Avoid overmixing batter to keep it light. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Let cobbler rest before serving to thicken juices. Pair with good-quality vanilla ice cream for best flavor contrast.
