Mixed Berry Cobbler with Cream Cheese Filling

A big hit at summer parties! I like to buy strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries when they go on sale and freeze them to put in this mixed berry cobbler, but it is also delicious with blueberries, cherries, or even rhubarb or peaches.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 6 cups mixed frozen berries, thawed, divided
• 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Prepare berry filling: Mix 3 cups berries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently and crushing berries with the back of a spoon, until mixture is about half liquid, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare crust: Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with two knives or a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Pack 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set remaining crust mixture aside.

Step 4

Prepare cream cheese filling: Blend cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Spread cream cheese mixture over the crust, then sprinkle remaining 3 cups uncooked berries over top. Top with the cooked berry-sugar mixture and crumble the remaining crust mixture over top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the top crust is lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
