Vegan Triple Berry Cobbler with Shortbread

A soft shortbread topped with juicy sweet berries and finished with a buttery and delectable biscuit This Vegan Triple Berry Cobbler with Shortbread is your new dream summer dessert.

This Vegan Triple Berry Cobbler with Shortbread is made with a deliciously soft buttery biscuit and juicy, sweet berries. Use your favorite berry in season or opt for frozen berries any time of year!

I mean how you can resist that ^^.

Tender & buttery biscuits, juicy syrup mixed berries, & most likely a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. I vote this as the must-try dessert this summer. It really is so simple and filled with flavor. Not to mention, you will be able to please those non-chocolate lovers at your summer bbq.

Although I find the shortbread base to add another layer of buttery goodness, you can opt out of it if you want to make this recipe even simpler!

How to Make Vegan Triple Berry Cobbler with Shortbread:

Shortbread Base

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 8″ square baking dish with parchment paper. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold in the flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
2. Press the shortbread dough in an even layer into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes until light golden brown.

Berry Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the frozen berries in sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Set in the freezer while preparing the biscuit topping.
2. Biscuit Topping
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add the cubed, cold vegan butter. Cut the butter into the flour using the tips of your fingertips until the butter pieces are about pea-sized. Drizzle in the cold non-dairy milk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix the wet ingredients into the dry until a very thick batter forms.

Assembly

1. Pour the berry mixture over the baked shortbread. Spoon over ¼ cup of biscuit batter over the top of one corner of the berries. Repeat 3 more times (see photos above for reference). Sprinkle granulated sugar over the biscuit batter.
2. Bake for 40-45 minutes until berries are bubbling and biscuits are golden brown. Allow cobbler to cool for 1 hr to set. If you spoon into it too soon it will be too runny.

Why you need to try this Vegan Triple Berry Cobbler with Shortbread:

1. Simpler to make than a pie: Unlike pie, that requires rolling out the dough, forming it into a pie pan, making the filling, then chilling, this cobbler just requires you to make a really easy shortbread base and biscuit topping with no chilling.
2. Customizable: Want to mix it up with other fillings? Sure, why not! Feel free to highlight just one berry (blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc) or swap for some juicy peaches.
3. Easy-to-find ingredients: Just because it’s vegan, doesn’t mean it has to be complicated. All the ingredients in this recipe are pantry staples or common to most grocery stores.
4. Mouthwateringly delicious: I mean…the most important reason, am I right? How can you go wrong with juicy, syrupy, and sweet berries with a soft shortbread crust and buttery biscuits?

This recipe is ideal for summer BBQs and holidays, Mother’s or Father’s day, and bday parties!

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

I have not tested a gluten-free version of this recipe, but feel free to do some testing yourself! A 1-1 gluten-free flour may work.

What berries do you recommend for this cobbler?

Any mixed frozen berries will work. My personal favorite is Wyman’s brand. I prefer frozen over fresh for cobblers, crumbles, and crisps. You could also opt for just one type of berry.
