The best summer dessert, this Slow Cooker Mixed Berry Cobbler is the easiest berry cobbler recipe you’ll ever make. Fresh berries combine with soft pound cake and rich mascarpone cheese in the slow cooker for all the flavor you love with half the work! Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 

What Is Berry Cobbler? 

Often, we hear the words crisps, cobblers, and streusels being used interchangeably. However, they are not the same things! So, let’s clear up some confusion and define exactly what a cobbler is. A cobbler is a dessert that is typically made with fruit and a biscuit or cake topping. As the fruit mixture cooks, the bottom portion of the topping soaks up some of the fruit juices and creates a drool-worthy treat. There are many different cobbler variations, but they’re all delicious! For our version, we simplified the steps just a bit, for a hands-off berry cobbler that tastes just as if you spent all day in the kitchen! 

Why You’ll Love This Mixed Berry Cobbler

Cobblers are known for being simple to make. However, we took an original recipe and made it failproof for a dessert so simple that even the kids can make it! This berry cobbler is: 

  • Ready in 2 hours. All you have to do is combine the ingredients! 
  • Easy to customize. Feel free to use different fruits, add your own spices, or even switch up the topping to make this berry cobbler recipe truly your own. 
  • Easy to clean up. All you have to do is wash out the slow cooker. You could even put it in the dishwasher! 
  • A great way to feed a crowd. This recipe makes a lot and is super easy to double or even triple to meet your needs. 

How to Make this Mixed Berry Cobbler Recipe

You’re not going to believe how easy this recipe is to make! 

  1. Add the pound cake, berries, sugar, and mascarpone to your slow cooker. 
  2. Dollop the mascarpone on top. 
  3. Cover, and cook on high for 2 hours. 
  4. Top the cobbler with your favorite granola. 
  5. Serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream

Can I Use Frozen Berries? 

Yes! If you can’t find fresh berries, feel free to swap them out for frozen ones. You don’t even have to thaw them first! Just keep in mind that the extra liquid will create a thinner layer. So, feel free to add more pound cake to soak it up. 

Can I Make this Berry Cobbler In Advance? 

We do not recommend making the recipe a day in advance, because the cake layer and granola topping will become too soggy. 

Storage Option

Although best served fresh, leftovers should be covered and stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

  1. How many servings?
    Could this be doubled and how would that affect the cooking time?
    I’ll be trying this this weekend!

    1. This serves 6-8. You can double it but you would need a larger slow cooker. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours! Be sure to let us know how it turns out!

    2. Follow-up
      I wouldn’t double this as it filled my crock pot! LOL
      Very good, although the marscapone didn’t incorporate well…
