Blueberry Limoncello Cobbler: Spiked with Limoncello liqueur this blueberry cobbler is a grown up summer treat and twist on a classic.
This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions, bad grammar, and overuse of smiley emoji’s are are 100% mine.
It’s no secret that I don’t like summer. I’m so pasty white that I don’t absorb the sun I reflect it. 🙂 Bugs love to nibble away at my skin. I don’t tolerate heat and it’s often too hot to turn the oven on. I’m allergic to all the growing things and don’t get to breath from May until September.
But the saving grace of summer is the bounty of fruit and veggies.
So when Angie of Big Bear’s Wife decided to host Summer Dessert Week I decided to join in. Main reason was the fun giveaway for you the readers. The other reason is that I miss the days in blogging when we used to do things like this all the time.
This may seem like an odd choice of a dessert for me since I’m allergic to blueberries, but I love to bake with them. I especially love the combo of blueberries and lemon.
Way back when I started this blog over 12 years ago I made a blackberry cobbler mostly because the recipe intrigued me. You roll the dough like cinnamon rolls, you melt a stick of butter in the pan, and your pour sugar water into the pan which makes everything float up. You will be determined that it will not work out and you wasted ingredients. You will be wrong…it all comes together magically.
I love this cobbler. It’s like half biscuit half cobbler. It’s messy but tasty. Some of the fruit will fall out when you slice it just through the fruit into the pan after you put the sliced dough in. I also used the Dixie Crystals Sugar sent to me as well as the Land O’Lakes butter.
You can use fresh or frozen berries. Rainer Fruit sent blueberries so I used fresh. But I have made this cobbler with both frozen and fresh fruit and both have been excellent.
OXO had sent a Glass Pie Plate but you can use any kind of pie plate you like.
This recipe does contain alcohol and so you need to be 21 or older to enjoy. If you don’t want the booze you can just use all water in the recipe.
Good luck on winning the raffle!

mint chocolate chip ice cream
Renee - Kudos Kitchen says
I love how you’ve made your cobbler with the rolled dough. It really is very pretty, and unexpected!
Megan P. says
Strawberry Pie or Peach Shortcakes.
Jen says
Wow, that’s so tough to decide! I would say either blueberry cheesecake ice cream or zucchini bread with chocolate chips. I make them both all summer long
Vicki Tunell says
Home made strawberry ice cream is my favorite summer dessert
Angie | Big Bear's Wife says
oo now this looks amazing! I’m totally loving that crust! I want to make this cobbler just for the crust…ok not JUST for the crust haha but I do love it!
Karen says
I miss all the great Washington fruit. The stuff I now get from Michigan is just not the same.
Donna @ What the Dog Ate says
Chocolate malted crunch! Yum!!!
Amanda Joy says
My favorite is either my dad’s dutch oven peach cobbler or my mom’s homemade vanilla ice cream at the lake. If all four of my parents get together… I can combine my favorites:)
DL says
Blackberry crisp or cobbler! Yum
Ciara says
Angel food cake with chocolate glaze.
Cassie says
This sounds so good! If only it would cool down here in Colorado too… I miss my air conditioning!
Heather RR says
That looks really delicious!
Dee says
I do love Limoncello, but if you left it out you would miss that lemony tang with the blueberries. Could you add some frozen lemonade concentrate, maybe a tablespoon or so? I may do that when I make this for my sons’ family this summer. Yummy,yum. Dee
Peabody says
You could use lemonade…great idea.
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
You’re totally right, that is a very intriguing recipe and now I must try it! I just so happen to have some limoncello too 😉
Amy S says
I love strawberry shortcake in the summer!
Brittney says
I have to completely truthful here, I don’t like summer. I like it least out of all the seasons, is that horrible? The one fantastic thing about summer means it is completely ok to eat ice cream every day without excessive judgement!
We have a TON of blackberries where we live, the bushes are literally treated as weeds! I think this would be a great dessert to make with them, my family loves cobbler, and I have never seen it made this way before! Thanks!
