4th of July Berry Shortcake-Cobbler
Plus more desserts for Independence Day!
This is the 4th of July mashup of my dreams, a blueberry cobbler and strawberry shortcake baked as one, in perfect harmony because I want them both for the holiday. The flaky biscuit is my muse and at the heart of this admittedly made-up dessert. It all begins with a Big Batch of Buttery, Buttermilk Biscuits (say that 10 times fast) made with a 1/2 pound of Kerrygold butter* layered in. I add fresh thyme because it is all over my garden and planted right next to the strawberries (I’ve successfully grown ONE strawberry so far, the rest have been rabbit food), so they seem destined to be together. The combination is sensational and summery!

Summer days call for cool treats, but also anything with fresh fruit (especially berries). Here are 12 of my favorite red, white, and/or blue 4th of July desserts.
Exclusive Recipe: Berry Shortcake-Cobbler
This mashup is the best of two biscuit worlds, the cobbler and the shortcake. Both involve flaky tender biscuits and fruit, so why not put them together in one pan?
Be sure to read through the whole recipe since I’m combining several simple techniques and I offer Pro Tips throughout the recipe. I’ve also created this short video to show you how I roll and fold the biscuit dough and put the whole thing together. Enjoy!
