What To Serve With It
I love pairing my homemade blackberry cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—it adds the perfect creamy contrast to the warm, juicy berries. If you’re not in the mood for ice cream, whipped cream is a lighter option that still brings a touch of sweetness. Either way, these toppings take the cobbler to the next level!
Ice Cream Pairing
When you’ve got a warm slice of homemade blackberry cobbler in front of you, adding a scoop of ice cream takes it to the next level. The cold creaminess melting into the warm, juicy berries creates a perfect balance. I love using vanilla ice cream because it complements the blackberries without overpowering them. Sometimes, I’ll switch it up with a scoop of cinnamon or honey ice cream for a fun twist. The contrast between hot and cold, sweet and tart, is pure magic. Trust me, once you try it this way, you’ll never want to eat cobbler without ice cream again.
Whipped Cream Option
Looking for a lighter alternative to ice cream, whipped cream makes a fantastic topping for blackberry cobbler. It’s fluffy, sweet, and doesn’t overpower the tartness of the berries. I love making my own whipped cream because it’s so easy—just heavy cream, a bit of sugar, and a splash of vanilla. Sometimes, I’ll add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth. If I’m in a rush, store-bought works just fine too. Whipped cream melts beautifully into the warm cobbler, creating this creamy, dreamy bite. It’s perfect for when I want something indulgent but not as heavy as ice cream.
