Instant Pot Peach Blueberry Cobbler

Summer is the perfect season for fruity desserts like peach blueberry cobbler.

The fruit is fresh and at its best, and since I discovered this Instapot peach blueberry cobbler recipe, I can save on energy costs and eliminate working in a hot kitchen.

Similar to a dump cake, it uses a packaged cake mix for an easy blueberry peach cobbler that you can make any time by substituting frozen fruit for fresh peaches and blueberries.

You can use other fruits in this cobbler recipe, but as the saying goes,  peaches and blueberries just “go together like peas and carrots.” 

It’s a colorful dessert that looks as amazing as it tastes.

Why I love Instant Pot Peach Blueberry Cobbler?

• The flavors of peaches and blueberries complement each other. 
• The crumb topping gives it a unique texture.
• It’s a tasty way to get my fruit requirements in for the day.
• Clean-up is minimal since only one bowl is used. 
• It’s easy to double or triple the recipe for a crowd. 

What makes a cobbler different from a pie?

A cobbler is easier to make than a pie. To make a pie, you must roll out the dough and cut a bottom crust to fit the pan, and prebake it. Most pies also need a top crust. In a cobbler, the dough and pie filling meld and cook together. It also takes longer to bake a pie than a cobbler. Cobblers taste better than pie when served cold. 

What makes a cobbler gummy?

A cobbler may turn out gummy if the fruit doesn’t cook long enough to break down the pectin in it. If your cobbler recipe calls for cornstarch, too much can cause it to have a gummy texture. A cobbler may also be gummy if it isn’t cooled properly before serving. 

Using canned fruit instead of fresh or frozen can make a cobbler gummy. Finally, if you reheat the leftover cobbler in the microwave too long, it can turn gummy. 

How to serve Instant Pot Peach Blueberry Cobbler?

Serve the Instant Pot Peach Blueberry Cobbler warm in dessert bowls and topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Top the ice cream or whipped cream with a few fresh blueberries for a pretty garnish.

Cooking Tips:

• Cook until the filling is bubbly and the top is a deep golden brown.
• Avoid overly ripe fruit or your cobbler may be soggy.
• Avoid underripe fruit or your cobbler may not be sweet enough.
• Taste your fruit. Fresh fruit that hasn’t had enough sunshine may be a little tart. Sprinkle on a little sugar and let it sit for a few minutes. 
• Use a probe thermometer inserted in the center and cook the cobbler until it reaches 200 degrees F. 
• Set a timer when it’s in the oven to make sure you don’t overcook the crumb topping. 

Variation:

• Instead of peaches and blueberries, try a mixture of summer fruits such as strawberries, blackberries, and cherries.
• Or make the Instant Pot Cobbler using only peaches or only blueberries.
• Use white cake mix instead of yellow cake mix. 
• For a Black Forest-style cobbler, use cherries, cherry pie filling, and a chocolate cake mix. 
• For extra crunch, add a 1/2 cup of finely-chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumb topping.
