How To Make Instant Pot Blueberry Cobbler
Here are the step-by-step instructions:
Step One: In your Instant Pot, start by assembling the filling. Pour all of the filling ingredients in and mix well.
Recipe Tip! If you do not mix well and deglaze the bottom, you will get an error called BURN. This only means that the pan is too hot. So, move it around, mix well.
Step Two: Mix in a mixing bowl all of your topping ingredients. Pour them over the filling. Spread it out to get an even layer.
Step Three: Then put your lid on, set it to the sealed position, and set the manual high temperature, set cook time for 25 minutes. Let it naturally release when it’s done.
Instant Pot Blueberry Cobbler Recipe Tips
- Choose Quality Blueberries: Whether using fresh or frozen, opt for plump, ripe blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen, there’s no need to thaw them first.
- Adjust Sweetness to Taste: Feel free to tweak the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your blueberries and your personal preference.
- Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice brightens the cobbler and enhances the blueberry flavor, so avoid bottled lemon juice if possible.
- Don’t Skip the Cornstarch: This ingredient is key for thickening the blueberry filling, ensuring a luscious, syrupy texture.
- Let It Cool Slightly: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes after cooking; this helps the filling set up a bit more for easier serving.
- Experiment with Spices: Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
- Serve with Toppings: Enhance your cobbler by serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of heavy cream.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.
- Double the Recipe: If you’re serving a crowd, you can easily double the recipe and cook it in batches for more cobbler goodness!
- Cleanup Tip: To make cleanup easier, line the bottom of your Instant Pot with parchment paper before adding the filling.

Made this in my Corningware in the Instant Pot. Did 20 minutes on high then switched to my crisper lid for 10 minutes on 350. Beautiful brown crust and my family can’t stop raving about how amazing it was.

It’s blueberry season! Too hot to bake, so i decided to give this instant pot cobbler recipe a try. Result, husband said it’s a winner! so I’ll be making it again. My notes follow.
To avoid the burn, i used the instant pot in a pot method. The Corningware 1.5 Qt round French White was perfect for this. It didn’t need coverings. I did the natural release for over 20 minutes. There was no moisture on the top. Perfectly done. Note that the filling is very sweet, It’s also a bit runny. Topping was perfectly cooked. It doesn’t have that browning, of course, that’s to be exp using an IP. Overall, I’m very pleased to have this recipe in my IP collection.
