Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen mulberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, toss 4 cups of mulberries with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon if using.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in 1/3 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly sticky but thick enough to drop by spoonfuls.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the mulberries in the baking dish. It does not need to cover every bit of fruit.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean. Look for bubbling juices around the edges.
  8. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes on a cooling rack to allow the filling to set.
  9. Serve warm with generous scoops of creamy vanilla bean ice cream on top.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a flaky crust. Toss berries with flour and sugar to prevent sogginess. If crust browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let cobbler rest 10 minutes before serving to avoid hot syrup burns. Frozen mulberries can be used without thawing. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and plant-based milk and ice cream.
