    makes 8 servings

Ingredients

Blackberry Filling

6 cups fresh blackberries
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Cobbler Biscuit Dough

1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dairy-free, soy-free vegetable shortening, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup vanilla vegan yogurt
1 tablespoon dairy-free, soy-free vegetable shortening, for dotting top
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the filling, combine the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lime juice. Toss gently and let rest for about 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 11 by 7-inch or 8 by 8-inch baking dish.

    Step 3

    To make the biscuit dough, whisk together the flour mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled shortening. Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut it into a coarse meal. Add the vegan yogurt and stir, being sure to incorporate any crumbs at the bottom of the bowl.

    Step 4

    Pour the blackberries into the baking dish. Dot the top of the berries with the shortening.

    Step 5

    Use a tablespoon to scoop out the dough onto the fruit. You can also use your fingers to just break it up. Sprinkle with the sugar.

    Step 6

    Bake for 45 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling up and the top is golden brown. Let rest for about 30 minutes before serving.
