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.
