No need to turn the oven on and heat up your house this summer to make one delicious fruity dessert! This Slow Cooker Three Berry Cobbler makes it possible to enjoy your favorite summer cobbler and you can mix and match your favorite berries, too. Serve warm with ice cream on top – heavenly!
With the abundant supply of fruits, particularly berries, during summer I have been inspired to do fruit-based desserts. For me, nothing describes summer more than fruit cobblers and crumbles. The lovely colors of reds and blues combined and the tartness they impart to an otherwise one-dimensional dessert make them my summer fave.
This cobbler is particularly lovely because you don’t need to use the oven for it. It’s cooked in the slow cooker which makes it so much easier; no need to preheat anything and most of all you don’t need to sweat while doing it (no warm oven, right?). Also, it doesn’t take that long to cook it, only about 2 hours or so which for slow cooking is rather fast!
This cobbler is great to eat on its own but if that’s not enough, you may add your vanilla ice cream on top. We always do! Enjoy the rest of the summer with this yummy Three Berry Cobbler.

TIPS & TRICKS
If you only have 2 types of berries – that works, too. Simply use about 2 cups each of frozen or fresh berries of your choice and follow instructions as usual.

I am pinning this one for sure. Thank you for sharing this at A'lil Country Sugar's crock pot party. It looks so yummy!
Thanks, Angie! Hope you like it when you get the chance to try it. Thanks for sharing it too!
How big is your slow cooker? My slow cooker is only about 2 1/2 quarts so I usually need to cut all the ingredients in half or so!
Mine is 6 quarts so it's pretty big and though this recipe easily fills up the bottom of the crockpot there's still a lot of room on top. But with yours you probably need to reduce the amount in half I would imagine. Perhaps you need to try and see what happens.
Sounds like perfection! It will be a very long time until I'm willing to turn on the oven again… Thanks Abby! 🙂 xoxo
Hope you enjoy it, Michele! 🙂
