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
- strawberries
- corn starch
- lemon juice
- sugar
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 blueberry salad 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
- butter
- sugar
🎯 TFN Pro Tip
If you’re looking for a patriotic dessert to make for holidays, then strawberry blueberry cobblers are a great option. They have a sweet, tart, and tangy flavor that everyone will love.
This is always a hit whenever I serve it for Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the 4th of July as a dessert for barbecues and potlucks.
You can even make star-shaped biscuits for a fun and patriotic dessert perfect for Memorial Day or 4th of July celebrations.
Recipe Variations And Substitutions
- Whole milk can be swapped with 2% milk, but not skim or non-fat milk. This is because whole milk has fat, which is needed to make the biscuits rise perfectly and have the right fluffy and tender texture. Get more tips for making the best easy flour biscuits.
- We made this a red, white, and blue dessert with blueberries, strawberries, and vanilla ice cream. But, you can certainly prepare a delicious fruit cobbler with just blueberries or strawberry cobbler (the recipes are linked). And if you don’t want to include ice cream, no problem: strawberry and blueberry cobbler still makes a wonderful patriotic dessert dish!
- For a star-spangled biscuit topping, use my easy homemade self rising flour biscuits and a star-shaped biscuit cutter for a patriotic strawberry and blueberry dessert.
- Swap the sugar in this recipe 1:1 with Splenda baking mix sugar, if you like. If you don’t have Splenda baking sugar, you can use a blend of 1/2 Splenda and 1/2 sugar. But do not use just regular Splenda to make fruit cobbler, as it won’t properly thicken the fruit.
- Make this a gluten-free fruit cobbler recipe by swapping self-raising flour with your favorite GF-friendly baking mix.

How To Make This Easy Cobbler With Strawberries And Blueberries
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:
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.
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.
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.
Bake the biscuits in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown.
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.

This cobbler was so good! It was only my second time making a cobbler, and I was pretty nervous, but it was super straightforward and came out PERFECT! Literally looked JUST like the picture, it was crazy! Tasted super good too. Definitely drained the juices on the fruit, will be using them for a yummy smoothy tomorrow! The recipe came out quicker then I thought too. 10/10, will be making again.
