About the recipe

I had good friends Rose and Donna for brunch recently and what a relaxing and fun time we had! We had a light lunch of pasta salad with cashews and asparagus, a simple tossed green salad with dates and strawberries, eggs shakshuka Italian style, and this delicious blackberry coconut pecan cobbler.

This blackberry cobbler tasted amazing! The cobbler was so good that we could have eaten the entire dish, but had to stop ourselves. We had it with whipped cream and it was mouthwatering good!

The mother of all cobblers

Called The Mother of all Cobblers this recipe is from cuisineathome an online cooking magazine. The author describes the topping as the perfect cobbler topping “Crispy, chewy, macaroon like crust with texture, flavor and obscenely easy to make.” I concur, having loved this cobbler so much I made it and it really is that easy to make.

If you are in berry season and are looking to make something deliciously sweet and yummy and easy, give this dessert a try!
