Easy Cherry Cobbler
This recipe for our Easy Cherry Cobbler is simple to make and oh-so delicious for summer!
Summer dessert to me is nearly always something with fruit and some sort of ice cream or whipped cream on the top. I love crisps, cobblers and pie – and I love how very easy they are to pull together. Our recipe for Easy Cherry Cobbler is no exception. I find that the fresh-picked cherries add an extra sweetness to the cobbler so you need a tad less sugar. And there’s something about collecting and creating with food you’ve picked by hand that is so special. Of course, you could make this recipe with frozen cherries in the winter and it’s really tasty, too.
This Sweet Cherry Cobbler has become one of Mr. Juggling Act’s favorite summer desserts. We take the kids strawberry picking at a sweet little farm not far from our home. It’s a fun afternoon that usually ends up with us hot and tired and with 10 or more pounds of strawberries. Then we amble down to the cherry trees and pick under the shade to cool off. Just a couple pounds of these because we’re too tired to do do more. Olivia loves fresh cherries, and her mouth and chin end up covered by the time we leave.

Please note, we have not yet tested these variations.
- For a mixed berry cobbler, reduce the cherries to 1 cup and add in 1 cup each of blueberries and strawberries.
- Citrus pairs beautifully with cherries. For a subtle twist, add the zest of 1 orange into the batter.
