Easy Berry Crockpot Cobbler Recipe
A note about the size of the cake mix for this crockpot cobbler. Be sure to use a 9-ounce cake mix while making this berry cobbler. This recipe is crafted with that size in mind. Your typical boxed cake mix is much larger.
Crockpot Cobbler Ingredients:
- 1 package, 12 oz, frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, red and black raspberries) Keep frozen.
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 small package, 9oz, white or yellow cake mix
- 1 stick, 1/2 cup, melted butter
- Vanilla ice cream, optional for serving
Crockpot Cobbler Directions:
Spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. We’ve made this recipe before and have done it without the nonstick spray and noticed that there can be parts of the cake that starts to burn – the edges specifically.
A quick spray can eliminate this issue. Make sure you cover all-around your crockpot.
Place your frozen berries into your slow cooker. Add the cornstarch and mix well. Stir in your brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla and mix well to evenly coat. At this point, you will want to sprinkle in your cake mix all over on top.
Next up, drizzle in your melted butter. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. This is the easy part when it comes to our crockpot cobbler.
How will you know when your crockpot cobbler is done? Cooking is usually done when the cake begins to brown on the edges and/or pull away. When you see this happen, turn off your slow cooker, Open the lid and allow to cool for about 20 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Tips and Variations:
- Be sure to use crock pot liners for easy cleanup.
- You can always substitute fruit flavoring. Consider apple pie filling with a little cinnamon. You could also add in ripe peaches or cans of peaches if that is the taste profile you are looking for.
- If you want to make a cherry dump cake, then be sure to swap out the frozen berries for a few small cans of cherry pie filling.
- Top with homemade whipped cream (recipe here) or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- If you don’t want to use a box of yellow cake mix, you could always use white cake mix, chocolate cake mix, spice cake mix, or anything else you have on hand. Fruit cobblers are very forgiving.
Delicious recipes don’t have to be difficult. The next time you head to the grocery store, grab a box of cake mix and frozen berries to try out your new favorite dessert. Family gatherings will never be the same once you introduce this easy cobbler recipe to the kids.
