This Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler is an easy dessert recipe that uses fresh or frozen berries so it’s the perfect sweet treat year round! Just 10 minutes prep!
I don’t know if there’s anything better than a warm dessert with vanilla ice cream!
We have a whole list of favorites (like my Grandma’s Hot Fudge Sundae Cake, this Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, or a slice of this Apple Upside Down Cake), but the ease of this Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler takes it right to the top of the list.
Berry Cobbler
With just 5-10 minutes of active prep time, it’s the perfect dessert to whip up in the afternoon if you find a moment of quiet, or while dinner is cooking for an after dinner treat.
This Berry Cobbler is also incredibly versatile.
You can use any berries you have, or add in other fruit that you have laying around and need to be used.
You can use fresh or frozen berries, so you can make it year round without sacrificing any flavor, but it tastes like summer.

How to make Crockpot Berry Cobbler:
Making cobbler in the slow cooker is not quite the same as making it in the oven.
There are several different ways to make cobbler, and they are all quite different.
Some cobbler recipes have a layer of fruit on the top, and crumbly biscuit-like cakes on the top.
Some cobbler recipes, like this one, have a layer of cake on the bottom, and a thick layer of fruit filling on top.
If you prefer your cobbler with crumbly biscuits, then this slow cooker version might not be your thing.
Crockpot cobbler will still have a thick cake layer, and a thick, oozing fruit layer, but slow cookers can’t do “crisp”. It is like a combination of cobbler and pudding cake, and we are 100% in love.
Just don’t skip the ice cream 😉
Variations on this Berry Cobbler:
As I mentioned above, you can make this crockpot cobbler with any fruit you have lying around. Try:
- peaches and raspberries
- strawberries, blackberries and blueberries
- blueberries, with some lemon zest added to the cake batter
- peaches, pears and pineapple
- get creative!

Has anyone tried this recipe using alternates like almond flour and Monk Fruit or other sweetener to reduce carbs? Wondering if the texture comes out okay.
Sally T. says
Hi Ashley, I tried your “Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler” and it was beyond delicious.
I don’t have use of an oven right now, because I’m traveling, so this dessert really worked perfectly for me and my family. I’m excited to make your “Sweet and Sour Crockpot Meatballs” next. Thank you for sharing all your recipes!
The Recipe Rebel says
Hi Sally! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this review, and hope you enjoy the meatballs!
Becca says
I only have a 6 quart slow cooker, so I’m wondering if you think it will work using that, and decreasing the length of cooking time. Thanks!
Ashley Fehr says
Hi Becca! It will, but the cook time really depends more on the area of the bottom than the capacity, so if it’s a smaller but deeper 6 quart, then you may not have to change the cook time much. If it’s wide and your cake layer will be much thinner, then you’ll want to reduce the cook time.

Would a boxed cake mix also work for this recipe?
Ashley Fehr says
It might, but I’ve never tried so I can’t say for sure!
