FILLING
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- zest of 1 lime
- juice from 1 lime

TOPPING
- 1 ½ cups flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375º.
- Filling: Add berries, sugar, flour, zest, lime juice, cinnamon and salt to a bowl. Toss gently. Transfer to a 9 inch pie pan or baking dish.
- Topping: Whisk together flour, coconut flakes, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour. In a measuring cup, add the vanilla to the cream and add to the dry ingredients. Stir just until the dough just comes together. Don’t over mix.
- Spoon dough onto blueberry mixture using an ice cream scoop. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Let stand for about 10 minutes to cool and serve with vanilla ice cream.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- You can use fresh or frozen berries. If using frozen, don't thaw first.
- Place a cookie sheet under the cobbler to catch any drips that might overflow.
- You can substitute any biscuit recipe for the topping.
- Try serving this warm with ice cream or with whipped cream.
- This is great warm or at room temperature.
- If you don't have a large pie pan, any casserole dish will work or make individual servings in ramekins.
