  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Blueberry Lemon Cobbler Filling

  • 6 cups frozen wild blueberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch (or arrowroot starch)
  • 1 lemon (zested)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Lemon Cobbler Batter

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
  • ¾ cup milk (warm to the touch)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅓ cup all purpose flour (160 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 lemon (zested)

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons coarse demerara sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Filling: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). In a baking dish or oven-safe pan approximately 10-12 inches in diameter, mix the frozen wild blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon until all ingredients are combined. Place this pan on a larger baking sheet to catch any overflow, then put it in the oven to start heating while you prepare the batter.
  2. Make Lemon Cobbler Batter: In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest and sugar by rubbing them together with your fingers to release the lemon oils. Add melted butter, lemon juice, warm milk, sea salt, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the mixture and fold gently with a whisk until the batter is lump-free. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and sour cream until evenly mixed and smooth.
  4. Assemble Cobbler: Remove the hot blueberry filling from the oven. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the blueberry layer. Carefully spread the lemon batter over the cream cheese and blueberries as evenly as possible. Generously sprinkle the coarse demerara sugar over the top for added crunch and sweetness.
  5. Bake the Cobbler: Place the assembled cobbler pan back onto the larger baking sheet to catch any drippings and return to the preheated oven. Bake for about 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp, and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Scoop portions onto plates and optionally add a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an extra luscious treat.

Notes

  • Using frozen blueberries helps create a thick, delicious filling as they release juice while baking.
  • Placing the cobbler pan on a larger baking sheet prevents messy overflow and makes cleanup easier.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure baking powder is gluten-free.
  • Lemon zest in both the filling and batter enhances the bright citrus flavor throughout the cobbler.
  • This cobbler is best enjoyed warm and pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep it light and tender.
