    blueberry cobbler cooked in a cast iron skillet

    Last week, my hubby had his 38th birthday! To celebrate, I asked him to pick any dessert he desired, and I would make it for him.

    I’m a HUGE chocolate lover, so secretly, anytime I ask my family what they want for dessert, I hope and pray they choose something chocolate related.

    Luck was not on my side this time because he immediately requested a berry cobbler, ha-ha!

    Both he and my oldest son love cobblers, so I figured he’d opt that route, but one can hope, right?!

    Cast Iron Blueberry Cobbler is a Southern favorite! Deliciously simple to prepare! Make this easy recipe in no time. A warm, bubbly dessert served straight from the cast-iron skillet!

    Since blueberries are a fav with all my kids, I knew I wanted to make a blueberry cobbler. Especially in the cast iron skillet because…. that just makes everything better, right?!

    When I went to the store, unfortunately, the blueberries were just about gone, and the ones left didn’t look so great! I opted to use frozen blueberries in this, but if you have fresh, feel free to use those! Either will be great!

    After preparing the biscuit topping and placing the skillet in the oven, the house smelled incredible and we all anxiously awaited dessert in oven!

    We enjoyed our cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top. Something about the hot cobbler with cold ice-cream, just makes everything taste better!

    No worries though, if you don’t like ice-cream, this can definitely be enjoyed on its own. Or even with some whipped cream!

    Next time you’re looking for a refreshing sweet treat, give this Cast Iron Blueberry Cobbler a try! Just the right amount of sweetness and PACKED with flavor!
