The Best Berry Desserts: Cobblers, Pies, Cakes, and More

When summer berry season hits, I want to use every single one. I’ll take all the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries in my sweet berry desserts.

Summer berries are excellent when in a cobbler, tucked into a flaky pie crust, swirled through a tender coffee cake, or folded into muffin batter. These recipes are east to mix up so they can be ready before the morning coffee is done brewing. They are simple enough for a weeknight but pretty enough for company. Save this page so that you can come back to the berry desserts every summer!

Blueberry Cobbler

This is the blueberry cobbler our family has made for over 25 years, and it works every single time. The secret is cooking the blueberries into a thick, jammy filling on the stovetop before it ever hits the oven.

Mixed Berry Cobbler Pie

Can't decide between cobbler and pie? You don't have to. This recipe nestles a fresh blueberry and raspberry filling into a classic unbaked pie crust, then tops it with a soft, sweet cobbler batter that bakes up golden brown.

Peach Blueberry Cobbler

This cobbler started with a peach recipe from a favorite Amish cookbook, then got even better with the addition of fresh blueberries. The biscuit topping gets a signature sugary crunch finish that makes this cobbler stand out.

Blueberry Blackberry Pie

Sweet blueberries and tart blackberries turn out to be a natural pairing, and this double-crust pie is proof. A shredded golden delicious apple works its way into the filling for a subtle background sweetness.

Raspberry Coconut Muffins

These muffins skip the butter and oil entirely, using canned coconut milk as the fat instead. The result is a surprisingly moist, tender crumb with a gentle coconut flavor that pairs beautifully with tart raspberries.
