TWD - Mixed Berry Cobbler



The TWD recipe this week of mixed berry cobbler was picked by Beth of Our Sweet Life. I have never made cobbler before. In NZ we tend to make crumbles rather than cobblers. I had read on the comments that some of the TWDers thought the recipe too bland, so I kept that in mind when making it.



I decided to make only 1/3 of the recipe which worked quite well. I made it in a small ceramic dish, using frozen blueberries and raspberries as the base. Dividing the recipe by 3 meant that there was only 1 tbsp of sugar in the topping. Bearing in mind the comments that it wasn’t sweet enough, I added another tbsp of sugar, effectively doubling the sugar in the topping. I cooked the pudding for about 25 minutes.



I really liked the pudding. I ate mine with thickened cream. It was delicious straight out of the oven when the topping was lovely and crunchy. I tried a spoonful from the fridge this morning, but it didn’t taste as good as cold crumble. I am not sure that I am a cobbler convertee, but it was nice for a change. See what the other TWDers thought here.



Following on from yesterday, today’s Rockin’ Girl Blogger award goes to a fellow TWDer, Stephanie of A Whisk and Spoon. Stephanie is my blogging idol! She writes fabulously, is a great cook and takes the most awesome photos. Thanks for being so inspiring Stephanie!

  9. Cold cobbler probably wasn't that good...I like mine warm. Yours turned out lovely though.

  12. Looks delicious. I think they are probably better warm than straight from the fridge. And they need ice cream.

  14. Look lovely! Yes, the biscuit topping doesn't keep all that well. Best served to a large group so it all gets eaten up right away!

  17. Jaime, a crumble is a mixture of flour and sugar with the butter rubbed in to make a crumble topping - or you can add rolled oats, spices, ground nuts, coconut etc. you just sprinkle the crumble over the fruit and bake like for a cobbler
