Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?


Yes, frozen berries can be used in place of fresh ones when making a blueberry dump cake cobbler.

Simply thaw the frozen fruit slightly before adding them to the top of the blueberry dessert.

How do I store leftover cobbler?

Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container or cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. 

How do you reheat fruit cobbler?

Reheating fruit cobbler is simple and can be done using either a microwave or an oven. 

Microwave Method: Place individual servings of cobbler on a microwave-safe plate and cover loosely with a paper towel or a microwave-safe cover to prevent splattering.

Heat on high power for 30-60 seconds, depending on the portion size and the wattage of your microwave. Carefully remove the plate from the microwave.

Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer the leftover cobbler to an oven-safe dish if it’s not already in one. Loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cobbler is heated through. Remove the foil during the last few minutes of baking to allow the topping to crisp up.
