Ingredients

  • For the Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • For the Blueberry Filling:
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, to thicken)
  • For the Biscuit Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or butter a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the egg and mix until fully combined. Spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Stir gently to coat the blueberries evenly, and then spoon the mixture over the cream cheese layer in the baking dish.
  • Make the Biscuit Topping: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, stirring just until the dough comes together.
  • Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon dollops of the biscuit topping over the blueberry filling. Don’t worry if some of the blueberries are exposed – the topping will spread as it bakes.
  • Bake the Cobbler: Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen blueberries if fresh ones aren’t available, but make sure not to thaw them before using.
  • For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the biscuit dough before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.
