Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking your cobbler.
  2. Prepare Butter Base: Pour the melted unsalted butter into an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish, evenly coating the bottom. Set aside to prepare the batter.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup plus the additional sugar (1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon) to create the cobbler’s base mixture.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the dry ingredients until just combined to form a batter without overmixing.
  5. Assemble Cobbler Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, forming the base layer for the cobbler.
  6. Sugar Blueberries: Toss the fresh blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to coat them uniformly, enhancing their natural sweetness.
  7. Layer Blueberries and Cream Cheese: Scatter half of the sugared blueberries over the batter, then dot the surface with cubed cream cheese pieces. Finally, top with the remaining blueberries evenly.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean indicating the cobbler is cooked through.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 20 minutes to set, then serve warm to enjoy the perfect creamy and fruity dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor, but frozen can be substituted if fresh are unavailable—do not thaw before use.
  • The type of cream cheese affects the texture; full-fat cream cheese offers the richest taste.
  • Serve this cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the cobbler light and tender.
  • You can substitute milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor and additional tenderness.
