This Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler is an easy dessert recipe that uses fresh or frozen berries so it’s the perfect sweet treat year round! Just 10 minutes prep!
I don’t know if there’s anything better than a warm dessert with vanilla ice cream!
We have a whole list of favorites (like my Grandma’s Hot Fudge Sundae Cake, this Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, or a slice of this Apple Upside Down Cake), but the ease of this Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler takes it right to the top of the list.
Berry Cobbler
With just 5-10 minutes of active prep time, it’s the perfect dessert to whip up in the afternoon if you find a moment of quiet, or while dinner is cooking for an after dinner treat.
This Berry Cobbler is also incredibly versatile.
You can use any berries you have, or add in other fruit that you have laying around and need to be used.
You can use fresh or frozen berries, so you can make it year round without sacrificing any flavor, but it tastes like summer.

How to make Crockpot Berry Cobbler:
Making cobbler in the slow cooker is not quite the same as making it in the oven.
There are several different ways to make cobbler, and they are all quite different.
Some cobbler recipes have a layer of fruit on the top, and crumbly biscuit-like cakes on the top.
Some cobbler recipes, like this one, have a layer of cake on the bottom, and a thick layer of fruit filling on top.
If you prefer your cobbler with crumbly biscuits, then this slow cooker version might not be your thing.
Crockpot cobbler will still have a thick cake layer, and a thick, oozing fruit layer, but slow cookers can’t do “crisp”. It is like a combination of cobbler and pudding cake, and we are 100% in love.
Just don’t skip the ice cream 😉
Variations on this Berry Cobbler:
As I mentioned above, you can make this crockpot cobbler with any fruit you have lying around. Try:
- peaches and raspberries
- strawberries, blackberries and blueberries
- blueberries, with some lemon zest added to the cake batter
- peaches, pears and pineapple
- get creative!

I know this is very random..I’m good friends with a gal in Washington..same last name as yours. Never seen another Fehr in phone books. I’m making a double batch of berry cobbler today from your recipe which is how I came across your name. Thanks for the recipe too.
Ashley Fehr says
Thanks Jan! I hope you enjoy it! That is so interesting — where I’m from there are lots of us 😉
Robin Fischer says
Having a dinner party next week. This looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it.
Laura Brown says
This recipe was awful. It was just a glutinous mass. I salvaged the berries. I would recommend using the Bisquik recipe.
Ashley Fehr says
I’m sorry you didn’t like it! It has been loved by many.
Emily says
This looks delicious! Have you ever tried making it with whole wheat flour?
Ashley Fehr says
I haven’t but I think it would work just fine!
Marjorie Harper says
Do you think it would work to double the recipe in a 5 quart crock pot?
Ashley Fehr says
I haven’t ever tried doubling it, so I’m not totally sure. My only concern would be that it would have to cook longer so that the cake in the bottom was completely cooked through, so hopefully the bottom wouldn’t get too dark. I think it’s worth a shot! I’d love to hear how it works if you try it!
Erika Pourrajabi says
I simply doubled the ingredients , using frozen berries. And cooked it for 3 hours per directions. Turned out perfectly!
Ashley Fehr says
I’m glad to hear that!
Marjorie Harper says
Do think it would work to double the recipe using a 5 quart crock pot?
Jen says
I’ve got mine in the cooker as we speak. Can’t wait to try it!
Has anyone made it with less sugar?
Ashley Fehr says
Let me know how it turns out! I’ve never tried with less sugar, though you could reduce the sugar in the berries without affecting the recipe much (aside from the sweetness).
Izzy @ She Likes Food says
Berry desserts with vanilla ice cream are my favorite things ever this time of year!! I just want a huge bowl of this right now! And I’m thinking that in a few months I will not want to turn my oven on at all, so a slow cooker dessert would be so nice!
Ashley Fehr says
Yes, berries and ice cream is the BEST in the summer!
Nicole @ Young, Broke and Hungry says
I’m honestly surprised this cobbler has no butter in it. It looks so indulgent, and I’m all about the slow cooker in the summer months!
Christin@SpicySouthernKitchen says
Those berries look gorgeous! Love making desserts in my crock pot. 🙂
Sarah @Whole and Heavenly Oven says
I totally need to make dessert in my slow-cooker more often! This cobbler will be SO great in the summer when it’s like 100 degrees in my kitchen and I don’t feel like turning on my oven!
Ashley Fehr says
Totally! I am so looking forward to those days!
Malinda @Countryside Cravings says
The comfort food diet, lol! Sounds like my kind of diet!! I love using the crock pot especially as it gets warmer outside. This cobbler is definitely going to have to happen! Pinned!
Ashley Fehr says
Lol! Right?? It’s the best way to diet! Thanks Malinda!
Alice @ Hip Foodie Mom says

Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
I love all of your slow cooker recipes! This cobbler is so perfect for the warm weather that’s ahead!
Ashley Fehr says
Thanks Jessica! I am totally obsessed with it!
Rachel @ Bakerita says
OMG yaaaas I have never made slow cooker cobbler but I need to get going on that – I love how easy it is to just throw together, set and forget. Need a big bowl of this with ice cream!
Ashley Fehr says
That is the only way to do it! Thanks Rachel!
Dorothy Dunton says
Hi Ashley! I just made a mixed berry cobbler day before yesterday! I used frozen berries because even though berries are in the stores, they are terribly expensive and who knows where they come from! I will be trying this slow cooker version next!
Ashley Fehr says
Yes, frozen berries are awesome! We have “berries” in grocery stores year round but they are nothing like the real deal! It’s just too bad our growing season is so short here — only a couple weeks! But when they come I am ready! 😉
Julie Evink says
This looks amazing! Of course anything in the Crock Pot is in my opinion!
Ashley Fehr says
Right?! I can’t get enough of it!
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
The comfort food diet?! Now THAT is a diet I can get behind, since I’m 100% against dieting. I just can’t restrict myself from all the delicious things in life… so that type of diet has my name written all over it! And so does this slow cooker cobbler! Can you believe I have NEVER made a dessert in the slow cooker! I know – whaaaa? I need to fix that. Pronto. And starting with this! Love love loooooove this cobbler, girlfriend! Looks seriously delicious and I’m loving all that fruit! Gimme! Pinned! Cheers, sweets!
Ashley Fehr says
Seriously, I have only made a handful of desserts in my slow cooker but it’s so perfect for those warm, melty-ice-cream types! (The best, obviously!). And yeah — that’s about the only kind of diet I can handle! LOl.
Jen | Baked by an Introvert says
I have yet to make a cobbler in the slow cooker. I don’t know what’s holding me back. It sounds like the best idea ever!! Your berry version looks delicious!
Ashley Fehr says
Thanks Jen! This was my first experiment with it!
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
I agree, slow cooker desserts are the best! I’ve only made one dessert in my slow cooker before, so I definitely need to change that. I absolutely love the idea of making cobbler in there! So perfect for the summer because then you don’t have to heat your house up! Wishing I had this for breakfast!
Ashley Fehr says
Yes! So much better than turning on the oven! Thanks Gayle!
