I can’t think of any dessert that evokes memories of summers gone by more than this Blueberry Cobbler. Topped with some vanilla ice cream, this is everything good about summer, right there in your bowl.
What I love about cobblers, is their rustic simplicity. A lightly sweet cake with a biscuity texture, beautiful fresh summer fruits and ice cream. How can you go wrong with that?
This week for Sunday Supper, we are sharing nostalgic summertime recipes. I can’t think of something that brings back memories from my childhood more, than a desert with ice cream in a blue melamine bowl. That’s my childhood right there. Every dessert, every bowl of ice cream, every bowl of cereal I ate in my entire childhood, was in a blue melamine bowl just like the one you see here.
Make this cobbler this weekend, and then make it again every chance that you get.
- 1½ c fresh blueberries (you can use frozen if they are out of season)
- ⅓ c + 2 Tb sugar
- 1½ c all-purpose flour
- 1 Tb baking powder
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¾ c unsalted butter (1½ stick), melted
- 1½ c milk
- vanilla ice cream for serving
- To begin. preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Lightly butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray - a 9x13 inch baking pan. Set it aside.
- Wash your blueberries and place them in a small dish. Sprinkle them with 2 Tb of sugar and set aside for a moment.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, remaining ⅓ cup of sugar and the salt. Give it a stir.
- Add in the melted butter and milk. Stir this together until it is just mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle the sugared blueberries all over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cobbler tests done in the center with a toothpick.
- Serve warm, topped with a scoop of ice cream.
- Enjoy!

Soon!
You are spot on…..there is NO WAY that anyone can go wrong with this dessert!
This brings back such memories. We had a blueberry patch and would make cobbler anytime we had the chance. Fruit cobblers are my favorite dessert – with ice cream, of course!
Blueberry is one of my favorite cobblers. Yours looks so pretty!
Your photos as always sing deliciousness, Conni! Thank you for sharing the recipe to your childhood bliss =)
I’m with you. Cobblers are the best, not only because they are super yummy, but they are so simple! This looks absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to try it :)
I just love a good berry cobbler, especially with ice cream! I can’t wait to give your recipe a try!
I think we’re going to go blueberry picking next weekend – hope I get a chance to try out your recipe then!
My grandmother had some bowls just like that, Conni. Food does taste better out of those bowls, especially cobbler with ice cream!
It does, doesn’t it? :)
I love this! Love cobbler and blueberry is a favorite! I also love your blue melamine bowl. Sweet memories!
My hubby adores blueberry desserts! When he asks for a blueberry pie next time, I’m going to make him your fabulous cobbler :)
Love it–your cobbler, and your blue melamine bowl. Perfect detail.
