Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

There are two key things you need for this red white and blue dessert recipe: the fruit filling and the fluffy biscuit topping.

To make the blueberry-strawberry cobbler filling, you need:

• Blueberries (fresh or frozen): Frozen berries work perfectly here—no need to thaw. If using frozen, omit the added water in the recipe.
• Strawberries (fresh or frozen): If using frozen strawberries, choose sliced ones. They’ll break down easily during baking and balance the blueberries nicely.
• Cornstarch: Helps thicken the berry filling as it bakes. If needed, you can substitute with 4 tablespoons of flour or 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch.
• Lemon juice: Adds brightness and helps activate the thickening power of the cornstarch. Bottled lemon juice works fine, but fresh is best.
• Sugar: You can use a 1:1 baking blend of Splenda and sugar. Avoid using plain Splenda, as it won’t thicken the fruit mixture properly.

You can use either fresh strawberries and blueberries, frozen, or a combination of the two. If you use frozen berries, just be sure to thaw and drain them first. I suggest defrosting them in a colander to help remove most of the moisture. So you can make this delicious summer-inspired dish any time of the year!

Another fantastic combination is our strawberry and blueberry fruit salad, cheesecake stuffed strawberries or our recipe for red white and blue cheesecake salad perfect for a patriotic dessert theme. It’s a delightful way to celebrate with a burst of fresh, patriotic colors!

For the scratch-made biscuit topping, you need:

• Self-rising flour: See our post on what is in self rising flour to save money by making it yourself.
• Milk: You can use 2% milk, but avoid skim or nonfat milk—these won’t give the biscuit dough the richness and structure it needs. Get more tips for making the best easy flour biscuits.
• Butter: Use semi-frozen butter for easier grating. You can also substitute with plant-based butter to make this recipe dairy-free.
• Sugar: A little added sweetness enhances the biscuit crust. You can leave this out if you prefer a more savory topping.

Recipe Variations

• Mixed berry cobbler: For a delicious twist, turn this into a mixed berry cobbler by combining strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. This colorful blend creates deeper flavor and makes a beautiful presentation. But, you can certainly prepare a delicious fruit cobbler with just blueberries or strawberry cobbler.
• Strawberry blueberry crisp: Skip the biscuit cobbler topping and make a crumble topping instead by mixing oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and a dash of salt. Bake until golden and bubbly for a strawberry blueberry crisp with extra texture.
• Spiced biscuit cobbler: Add warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a little pumpkin pie spice to the biscuit batter. Before baking, lightly sprinkle the tops of the dough with sugar and powder for added crunch and flavor.
• Patriotic pie crust topper: Instead of the usual biscuit topping, roll out a pie crust and cut star shapes using a cookie cutter. Or use my use my easy homemade self rising flour biscuits and a star-shaped biscuit cutter for a patriotic strawberry and blueberry dessert. Layer them over the berries and bake as directed. This gives a festive and flaky take on the classic dish—perfect for summer holidays!

How To Make Blueberry Strawberry Cobbler

Cobblers are one of the easiest dessert recipes to make. From start to finish, this patriotic dessert takes less than an hour. It comes together in 5 minutes with these 4 simple steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Then, stir together the strawberries, blueberries, cornstarch, 1 cup of sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture into the bottom of a casserole dish.
2. Next, rinse and dry the bowl before adding flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and grated butter. Pour in the milk and use a heavy wooden spoon to stir until just mixed.
3. Drop the biscuit dough into the fruit cobbler mixture with a large spoon. Then press it lightly to partially submerge the dough into the mixture.

4. Bake the biscuits in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown.
5. Let the blueberry and strawberry cobbler cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. Use a large spoon to dish out the cobbler and top it with your favorite toppings.

Serving Suggestions
