Are you ready for the easiest dessert that tastes like you worked all day in the kitchen? Well, you’re in luck because I am sharing my very BEST crockpot dessert — this Easy Crockpot Berry Cobbler. It’s absolutely delicious and perfect for everything from a Super Bowl party to a backyard barbecue, birthday party, or just a cozy night at home.

Made with frozen berries, a box of cake mix, and a few pantry staples, this recipe could not be easier… but tastes like you spent hours making it. If you love easy cobblers like this, you also have to try my Easy Crockpot Peach Cobbler  — it’s another dump-and-go favorite that everyone goes crazy for.

Prefer baking instead? My Easy Berry Cobbler (Oven) and Peach Cobbler (Oven) are just as simple and perfect if you don’t want to use the crockpot.

And if you’re into easy cake-style desserts, don’t miss my Ultimate Strawberry Cake and Pineapple Upside Down Cake — both are major crowd-pleasers.

 Tips for the Best Crockpot Berry Cobbler

  • Keep berries frozen – this is key. As they cook, they release liquid that creates the perfect cobbler texture.
  • Mix the base well – make sure the cornstarch fully dissolves so there are no clumps.
  • Do not mix the cake layer – this is what creates that buttery topping.
  • Slice butter thin – the more coverage, the better the final texture.
  • Use up to 24 oz berries – if you like it extra juicy (highly recommend)

Ingredients
  

  • 16 –24 oz frozen mixed berries blueberries, blackberries, raspberries — do NOT thaw
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • Juice of 1/4 lemon fresh squeezed
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract adjust to taste
  • 1 box white cake mix I used Pillsbury Super Moist
  • 1 stick salted butter 8 oz, sliced thin
  • Nonstick spray

Instructions
 

  • Spray your crockpot with nonstick spray.
  • Add the frozen berries (do not thaw), vanilla, cornstarch, and fresh lemon juice directly into the crockpot.
  • Mix everything together until you no longer see any white from the cornstarch and everything is fully combined.
  • Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top.
  • Do not mix.
  • Slice the butter into thin pats and place evenly over the cake mix, covering as much surface area as possible.
  • Cook on HIGH for 2 – 3 hours, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or Cool Whip.

Notes

  • I used a standard size crockpot: 3.5 qts.
  • No need to thaw the berries, just throw them into the crockpot and mix with the vanilla, lemon juice, and cornstarch. You must add the cornstarch for a gooey thick cobbler.
  • Don’t mix in the cake mix, just sprinkle over and flatten as evenly as you can. Then add the slices of butter over the top.
