Tips on Making Mulberry Cobbler
This mulberry cobbler is such a delight to make, and even more delicious when served warm. It uses simple ingredients which you can easily find in your local grocery store. Make this sweet and slightly tart cobbler dessert in just less than an hour! We listed some helpful tips below to ensure that you get the best out of this mulberry cobbler recipe:
- Use fresh or frozen mulberries. These two options work best for mulberry recipes. It’s better than those canned mulberry fruits. Fresh or frozen mulberries will enhance the sweet and fruity flavors of the dish. Just make sure to thaw the mulberries first if you’re using frozen ones.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to lessen or increase the sweetness of the cobbler. Some mulberries may be too tart so adding a bit more sugar than necessary is recommended to balance the sweet and tart flavors. It’s important to check the taste of the ripe mulberries first before making the cobbler so you can gauge its range of sweetness.
- Mix in cornstarch for a firmer texture. If your mulberry filling gets too runny, add a tablespoon of cornstarch. This acts as a thickening agent, and will soak up the juices from the berries when you’re heating and simmering it on a cast iron skillet. As a result, you’ll get a smooth and thick filling.
- Add in other varieties of fruits like blueberries, blackberries, peaches, or raspberries. Mulberries taste wonderful with peach and raspberries so don’t hesitate to try out another exciting flavor! You can also try and mix in mulberries the next time you make a blackberry cobbler.
- Try adding in lemon juice. The additional acidity from lemon juice can enhance the sweet and tart flavors of the mulberries, and the overall dish. One lemon is enough to give the cobbler another layer of freshness.
- Serve with toppings of your choice. Finish off the dessert with a delicious cobbler topping of your choice. Try adding in a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. You can also top it with whipped cream or a white icing glaze.

Does a cobbler have a bottom crust?
No, cobblers are baked goods that only have a fruit-filled bottom that’s topped with a biscuit dough. They are basically baked fruit desserts.

Yes, you can refrigerate this cobbler so that it lasts longer. Make sure that it’s tightly covered with a plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container. Chilling the cobbler can extend its shelf life up to a week. You can also freeze it, but we don’t recommend it since the mulberry filling may become too soggy once it defrosts.
