What can I use if I don’t have fresh mulberries?

If fresh mulberries aren’t available, frozen berries work perfectly without thawing. You can also substitute with blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix of berries while keeping the total amount consistent at 8 cups.

Can I make this cobbler gluten-free?

Yes! Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend in the topping. Ensure the cornstarch or alternative thickener is also gluten-free to maintain the juicy filling.

How do I store leftovers of mulberry cobbler?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months, wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash and gently pat dry the mulberries. Toss them with 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, and juice of 1 lemon until coated.
Transfer the berry mixture into a baking dish or divide evenly among ramekins.
In a stand mixer, cream 12 tbsp butter and 2/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 3/4 tsp baking soda, and 1/3 tsp salt. Gradually add half to the wet mixture, followed by 1/2 cup milk, then the remaining flour, mixing until just combined.
Spoon dollops of the cobbler topping over the berry filling, leaving gaps for steam.
Bake ramekins for 20-25 minutes or a large dish for 40-45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Top with ice cream or whipped cream as desired.

Notes

If fresh mulberries aren’t available, frozen berries work perfectly without thawing.
To avoid a soggy topping, let the berry mixture sit for 10-15 minutes after coating with cornstarch.
Do not overmix the topping to maintain a tender, fluffy texture.
Make-ahead option: prepare filling and topping separately a day in advance.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
