Ingredients:
- 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Berries: In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the berries are evenly coated. Pour the berry mixture into the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a fork or pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Milk and Vanilla: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing just until a thick batter forms.
- Add Topping to Berries: Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the berry mixture in the slow cooker. The topping will spread as it cooks.
- Cook the Cobbler: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours, until the berries are bubbly and the topping is golden and set.
- Serve Warm: Scoop the berry cobbler into bowls and serve warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Enjoy this Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler as a fuss-free dessert that lets you enjoy the sweetness of berries with a tender, buttery topping—perfect for any occasion!
