Berries are the star for this easy dessert, that can be enjoyed any time of year but is especially lovely in the summertime. Serve with vanilla ice cream for the perfect pairing!
Ingredients
4cupsassorted berriespreferably fresh, but frozen is fine too
1tbspcorn starch
2tbsplemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
1/2cupsugar*
2tbspcherry or raspberry liqueurkirsch or framboise
In a large bowl, mix together the berries, corn starch, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, liqueur, and cinnamon. Let it sit for 30 minutes, giving it a stir every once in a while.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Get out 6 4-oz ramekins, and distribute the berries and berry liquid evenly among them. They should be about 3/4 full.
Lightly flour your countertop, roll out the pie dough, and cut circles out using a cutter. Place the pie crust on top of the ramekins.
Bake on a sheet pan for 35 minutes until the pie crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Let the cobblers rest for about 5 minutes, then serve with some vanilla ice cream! Enjoy!
Notes
*I assume you will be eating this a la mode with vanilla ice cream, so here I don’t sweeten the berries too much (most recipes use about 1 cup of sugar for this amount of berries). If not eating with ice cream, add a little more sugar.
