Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen berries?

Yes, you can use frozen berries to make vegan berry cobbler. Frozen berries are a convenient option, especially when fresh berries are not in season or readily available. Here’s how to adapt the recipe when using frozen berries:

Frozen Berry Preparation: If using frozen berries, there’s no need to thaw them. Simply use the frozen berries directly in the recipe. However, you may need to adjust the baking time slightly, as frozen berries can release more moisture during baking.

Filling Adjustments: When using frozen berries, you may want to increase the amount of cornstarch (or tapioca starch) slightly to help thicken the filling. An additional 1-2 teaspoons of starch should suffice.

Baking Time: Due to the extra moisture from frozen berries, you may need to extend the baking time by about 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the cobbler as it bakes, and remove it from the oven when the topping is golden brown, and the berry filling is bubbling.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can make a vegan berry cobbler ahead of time and then reheat it when you’re ready to serve. Here’s how to do it:

Follow the recipe to prepare and bake the vegan berry cobbler as instructed.
Allow the cobbler to cool to room temperature after baking.
Once the cobbler has cooled, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent drying and refrigerate it. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheating the Cobbler: When you’re ready to serve, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the cobbler from the refrigerator and discard the covering.
Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until it’s heated through. You can loosely cover the top with foil if you’re concerned about the topping over-browning during reheating.
Once the cobbler is hot and the filling is bubbling, it’s ready to serve.

By following these steps, you can enjoy your vegan berry cobbler with minimal effort when you’re ready to enjoy it. This makes it a convenient dessert option for gatherings or meal planning.

Ingredients

For the berry filling:

6 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca starch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla

For the cobbler topping:

1 ½ cup all-purpose flower
½ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup vegan butter or coconut oil, melted
½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch (or tapioca starch), lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss the mixture gently to coat the berries evenly.
Pour the berry mixture into an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted vegan butter (or coconut oil), almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping evenly over the berry mixture in the baking dish. The topping does not need to completely cover the berries; it will spread as it bakes.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown, and the berry filling is bubbling.
Allow the vegan berry cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It's delicious on its own or with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or a dollop of vegan whipped cream.
