What is Mixed Berry Cobbler?
This Mixed Berry Cobbler is a sweet and delicious dessert made of a pie crust with mixed berry filling and cobbler topping. Its top crust is “cobbled” and coarse rather than smooth, which is why it is referred to as a cobbler.
It’s usually spooned over the fruit, then baked to deliciousness! In this fruit dessert, you can enjoy your favorite berries such as raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries in every bite. You can serve it warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to complement all that fresh berry goodness!
