I had planned to share another dessert with you, this week, but then I picked a bucket of fresh blackberries from my parent’s backyard. I knew that I had to make something very delicious with it, the caveat being that there was no way I was turning on the oven. There hasn’t been much talk here on the blog about my life post-move to Las Vegas. What I will say, for now, is that I am enjoying myself and acclimating fairly well to the heat.

One “problem” I have, is that my kitchen is about 4 to 5 degrees warmer than the rest of the house – before cooking starts. So, that means that it ranges from 79F to 85F on most hot days. Now do you see why I refuse to turn the oven on? That being said, it has motivated me to get even more creative with my outdoor cooking, which can also help with camping cooking!

My mission with this grilled blackberry cobbler was to create pretty nice dish that could be served at a cookout or party, but could be cooked solely outside. And, you can probably guess from this post that it was a SUCCESS! Sweet – but not too sweet, fluffy – but with a sweet crust, and something of which you’ll be grabbing second helpings.

This grilled blackberry cobbler recipe was based off of this Savory Tomato Cobbler I made last year, and honestly, didn’t need much tweaking to bake in on the grill. Give the savory version a try if you have the chance, but don’t have much of a sweet tooth! Either one will be great for 4th of July.

Course Dessert

Cuisine Dairy-free, Egg-free, Grilled, Holiday, Nut-free, Seasonal, Soy-free, Vegan, Vegetarian

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

Filling

• 3 cups blackberries
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder

Biscuit topping

• 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
• 1/2 cup plain, unsweetened non-dairy milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoons turbinado sugar or coarse sugar

Instructions

• For the filling: Preheat grill to roughly 425F, I typically light the outside burners and keep them at medium-low (on the dial). Lightly oil an 8-inch cast iron skillet and place blackberries, blueberries, sugar, and starch inside, stirring until evenly coated. Smooth berries into an even layer.
• For the biscuit topping: In a large mixing bowl, sift all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt, together. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut shortening into flour until the mixture resembles small crumbles.
• Next, add non-dairy milk and vanilla to the flour mixture, and fold together until there are no dry spots. No need to mix until smooth. Place 2-tablespoon-sized dollops over the top of the berry mixture, then sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top.
• Place cobbler in the center of the grill, and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned on top. You may need to monitor the grill heat, as it will typically increase the longer it's on. Once baked, allow cobbler to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. I love it with vegan whip or vanilla ice cream on top!
