Freezing Fresh Blueberries: A Simple Guide
Got a bounty of fresh blueberries? Freezing them is a cinch and extends their shelf life significantly. Just arrange the blueberries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Pop the sheet into the freezer and wait until the berries are fully frozen. Once that’s done, shift the frozen blueberries into a ziplock freezer bag. Store them in your freezer, and they’ll stay good for up to six months. Perfect for off-season blueberry cobbler cravings!
How To Make Blueberry Cobbler For One
- Prepare the filling: Place the blueberries in a small baking dish. Stir in the sugar and lemon juice.
- Make the cobbler batter: Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk, and pour over the blueberries.
- Bake: Bake in a 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 25 minutes.
- Enjoy: Remove from the oven and enjoy while still warm.
Expert Tips
- Temperature Matters: Preheating your oven is crucial. Make sure your oven reaches the exact temperature before you start baking. I recommend using an oven thermometer which can help with this and ensure consistency in your results.
- Baking Sheet Hack: Always place your ramekin on a baking sheet. Not only does it make it easier to take in and out of the oven, but it also catches any spills, saving you from a potential oven clean-up.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoying a homemade dessert like this should be an experience! Here are a few ways to elevate your single-serving Blueberry Cobbler:
- Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream pairs wonderfully.
- Whipped Cream: A dollop can add a luxurious touch.
- Fresh Mint: A sprig for garnish adds color and aroma.
- Nut Toppings: A sprinkle of crushed almonds or walnuts can add a crunch.

Amazing. I did use an air fryer. 300° for 15 minutes. Also used way less sugar and opt for honey. A recipe keeper, for sure.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you regarding the Air Fryer method. I will definitely try it that way. Thanks to you too Joanie for a great easy recipe.
I love this recipe. Have made it with blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. I find myself scraping the ramekin to get every last bit.
I’m so happy you love the recipe. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know.
I’m wondering if frozen blueberries would work, if they were thawed first? Thank you!
Yes, frozen and thawed work just fine.

Thank you, Liz. I’m so glad you are enjoying the recipes and cooking information.
Could you make this in one of those small foil dishes until I get the right dishes?😊
Hi Sharon, I’m not sure of the size dish you are referring to. Using a dish of similar size to the one recommended in the recipe should work just fine.
Joanie, your site is just fantastic. Such wonderful recipes, what an
assortment. Mmmm relish. Looking forward to making the Blueberry Cobbler today. If I decide to make this cobbler for two, do I just double
the ingredients…..
Stay safe and healthy.
