Mary Lou’s Blueberry Cobbler
Posted by peppertree on July 8, 2009
I really only make dessert for a special occasion. I can’t just have sweets sitting around in my house, I would eat the entire thing! My friend Lisa just visited me (with her two great kids), and I decided to make a dessert (I also made this: http://peppertree.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/tortellini-florentine-soup/). I couldn’t decide between the Blueberry Buckle that I’ve been dying to try (from A Mighty Appetite blog), or this one. I decided on this one, since it sounded so easy and only had 5 ingredients! I have three words for you: Oh. My. Gosh. This is FABULOUS! I just knew that it wouldn’t turn out because it’s just so darn simple! And it really is just as simple as it sounds. This made enough for 7 small bowlfuls. Next time I will double the recipe. What, I can’t have leftovers?! This cobbler is just the perfect amount of sweet fruit with flaky crunchy cake goodness. Of course I topped it off with some vanilla ice cream. Oh, and I used Silk lite vanilla soy milk for the milk. This got thumbs up from everyone.
rating: 10 (seriously!)
Oh, I got this from a Daily Candy email.
A DailyCandy mom from rural Virginia knows how to make two things: sweet iced tea and fruit cobbler. With a recipe for the latter that’s as simple and drop-to-your-knees delicious as this, that’s all she needs to know. Best eat it up before your resolutions kick in.

Oh we are SO trying this – easy, sweet, topped with ice cream, sounds like a winner! Might give it a go with some of the blackberries we have out back first. The price is right and what’s the worst that could happen, we’ll just need extra ice cream LOL! Did you just make it in one big dish and then spoon it out? Might be fun to make in those, well, I call them ramekins, not sure of the technical term, but single serve glass dishes, too!
And mmmm on the Tortellini Soup, that was an awesome recipe, been awhile since we have made it but it is right up there on at least 75% thumbs up which in this household is saying alot! Only thing that stops me from making it more is the cost, well when all 9 of us are here anyway. It’s a good one for kid-light weekends where it’s just a few here, though. (yeah, been busy, I told the kids you made the comment the other day about no new posts, so hopefully it spurred them into action to thinking on what we can post next)
Glad YOU’RE not slacking this summer, though.

Yes, I think this would be good with any berry, really. I still have some blueberries leftover, and was SO tempted to make another one of these last night! But I knew I would eat the whole thing! I made it in one big dish. And yep, those are ramekins. I have some of those that came in a creme brulee kit I have. Could try that next time. Glad to hear you are all ok! The tortellini soup has become my “signature dish”, lol. It’s the one dish I make when I have guests over, since I know it’s awesome. But you know what, this dessert may become my “signature dessert”!
