This Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert featuring a medley of fresh or frozen berries topped with a buttery coffee cake mix. Cooked slowly in a crockpot, it results in a warm, bubbly, and golden cobbler perfect for serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients

Berry Mixture

  • 6 cups fresh or frozen berries (a mix of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries recommended)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Topping

  • 1 box coffee cake mix
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Additional

  • Unsalted butter (enough to grease the slow cooker basin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Generously butter the basin of your slow cooker to prevent sticking and add richness to the dish.
  2. Combine Berry Mixture: In the buttered slow cooker, add the fresh or frozen berries along with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly with the mixture, which helps thicken the fruit juices as it cooks.
  3. Add the Topping: Evenly spread the coffee cake mix over the berry mixture, creating a layer that will bake to a golden crust.
  4. Distribute Butter: Place the cubed unsalted butter evenly over the coffee cake mix to ensure an even melt and promote browning during cooking.
  5. Sprinkle Cinnamon: Dust the entire top of the cobbler with ground cinnamon to add warming spice and flavor.
  6. Cook: Cover and cook the cobbler on high in the slow cooker for 3 hours. The topping should be golden brown and the berry mixture bubbling. If needed, cook an additional 30 minutes until desired doneness is achieved.
  7. Serve: Serve the cobbler warm, ideally topped with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream for an indulgent finish.

Notes

  • You can use any combination of berries: fresh or frozen. Thaw frozen berries slightly before using for best results.
  • If you prefer a thicker filling, increase the cornstarch by 1 teaspoon.
  • Ensure to butter the slow cooker well to avoid sticking and to add flavor.
  • Check the cobbler occasionally toward the end of cooking to prevent over-browning.
  • This dessert is perfect for making ahead; keep warm in the slow cooker until ready to serve.
