For a substantial filling, select blackberries for your next fruit cobbler. Blackberries are a bit firmer than other berries, helping them to hold their shape when baked. Here, we're created the perfect berry-to-biscuit ratio, though it can only get better with a scoop of ice cream.

Recipe: Blackberry-Peach Cobbler Bars

These upgraded summer dessert cobbler bars are a perfect go-to recipe for summer cookouts and gatherings.

Patchwork Cobbler

Topped with squares of sugar-crusted pastry, this cobbler shows off our favorite summer fruits in a rich, just-sweet-enough-filling. One of our best-ever summer cobbler recipes, this patchwork cobbler is loaded with ripe plums, blueberries, and peaches. The juicy, sweet flavor shines through a delicious homemade butter crust that’s worth the added effort (although if you’re in a pinch, store-bought crust will also deliver tasty results). Make sure that you follow the recipe and use ice-cold milk, as this helps the crust bake into flaky, bite-sized patchwork pieces. Top with sparkling sugar for a rustic and irresistible homemade finish.
