Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Blackberry Cobbler expire?
A freshly baked homemade blackberry cobbler can last up to two days at room temperature, covered with a cloth. If you store it in the refrigerator, it extends the shelf life and can stay good for about a week. When frozen, a blackberry cobbler can last up to three months. Just make sure it has cooled completely before you put it in the freezer.
How do you tell if Blackberry Cobbler is bad?
Blackberry cobbler is bad if it develops an off smell, mold, or a slimy texture. Also, if the crust becomes soggy, it may be a sign of spoilage. While a change in color might be due to simple oxidation, it's always best to err on the side of caution and discard your blackberry cobbler if you're unsure. Taste and smell are your best indicators.
Tips for storing Blackberry Cobbler to extend shelf life
• Always allow your blackberry cobbler to cool completely before storing it.
• Store the cobbler in the fridge in an airtight container. This will prevent it from drying out and also prevent any refrigerator smells from permeating your dessert.
• If you want your blackberry cobbler to last for a longer period, freezing it is your best bet. Cut the cobbler into portions, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then in foil to prevent freezer burn and keep for up to three months.
• To revive your cobbler, let frozen pieces thaw at room temperature and then put them in the oven at 350 degrees for around 15 minutes until they are warm and crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make the crust soggy.
