Jump to Recipe

This dreamy blueberry lime coconut cobbler is the ultimate summer dessert! With tons of fresh blueberries, lime zest and a buttery biscuit topping, it’s impossible to resist. Especially when served with vanilla ice cream. Vegetarian.

Note: This recipe is NOT dairy free. It was published before Cook Nourish Bliss transitioned to dairy free recipes and remains popular with long time readers. You can try using substitutions to make it dairy free, however I have not tested this myself and can’t say how it will turn out. Or, you can try this vegan blueberry cobbler instead!

Let me tell you the story of how my pie plate met its sad demise. Actually it’s not very much of a story.

I used it twice recently to make this recipe. The third time when I went to take photos? I had it sitting on the edge of my counter, barely knocked into it and boom.

Cracked into a million little pieces all over my floor. Major sad face.

So ignore the small casserole dish I used in these pictures and just go ahead and use a pie plate. 

Anyway, since there’s no bringing back my very favorite pie dish, let’s discuss happier things.

Like blueberry lime coconut cobbler – i.e. a slightly gussied up version of a traditional blueberry cobbler.

About This Blueberry Lime Coconut Cobbler

The filling is packed with lots and lots of fresh blueberries (which I can’t stop buying right now fyi) and plenty of lime zest and a little lime juice.

And then there’s the topping. My favorite part. With a touch of ground coconut flakes and coconut extract, you get just a hint of coconut flavor – nothing too much for all you coconut haters out there (seriously, we can’t be friends).

You’ll also sprinkle the biscuit pieces with a smidge of coarse sugar, for some crunch.

And while it’s delicious all by itself straight out of the oven with a spoon, what you really need to do is this:

Lots of vanilla bean ice cream = total necessity and infinitely more amazing.

Blueberry Lime Coconut Cobbler

Yield: about 6 to 8 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

This dreamy blueberry lime coconut cobbler is the ultimate summer dessert! With tons of fresh blueberries, lime zest and a buttery biscuit topping, it’s impossible to resist. Especially when served with vanilla ice cream. Vegetarian.

Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 2 pints fresh blueberries
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • zest from 1 lime
  • juice from ½ a lime
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

For the topping:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons finely processed unsweetened coconut flakes*
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ teaspoon coconut extract
  • coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

To make the filling:

  1. Add the berries, sugar, flour, zest, lime juice, cinnamon and salt to a medium bowl. Toss until well combined.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch deep dish pie plate and spread evenly.

To make the topping:

  1. Whisk together the flour, coconut flakes, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, two knives or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour. Continue until the mixture resembles even-sized crumbs.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, vanilla extract and coconut extract. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry and stir until the dough just comes together. Do not over mix.
  3. Pinch off chunks of the dough (fairly large pieces) and drop over the blueberry mixture. Sprinkle lightly with the coarse sugar.
  4. Set the dish on a baking sheet and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.
  5. Let stand for about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve topped with ice cream.

Notes

*Add coconut flakes to a food processor and process until finely ground. Measure out the 2 tablespoons. You can also just buy finely shredded / processed coconut, which I’ve also done.
