Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup ice water
6 cups fresh blackberries
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
2 tablespoons flour
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
Fresh mint sprigs
Powdered sugar in shaker

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening and work it through with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time and work the dough until you have a smooth ball. Wrap the dough tightly and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out until the dough is 1/8-inch thick. Divide the rolled dough in half. Place half the dough in an 9 by 9 by 2-inch square baking pan. Reserve the other half for the top of the cobbler. In a mixing bowl, toss the blackberries with the sugar, Grand Marnier, and flour. Pour the tossed blackberries into the prepared pan. Top the blackberries with the cubed butter. Lay the reserved crust over the blackberries, tucking the edges down into the pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Place a serving of the cobbler in a shallow bowl and serve with vanilla ice cream. Garnish with mint and powdered sugar.

Blackberry Bomb Cobbler
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I was very excited about this recipe until it was done cooking. The dough was ok, (no real flavor) but the filling was very... runny. I scooped out almost a bowl of juice and that isn't how cobbler is supposed to come out. Emeril's recipes are usually great, but I wouldn't waste the time or the money it takes (fresh blackberries are very expensive)to make this one!Read more

I have many of emerils books and have made many recipes of his. This was the worst attempt at making a dish of his I have... ever tried. 1 cup of shortening has to be wrong. I always follow recipes to a t. This filling was great but the crust was so bad it ruined the cobbler.Read more

Amazing.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

There were no fresh blackberries available at a fair price in my area, so I actually just bought a bag of frozen, let them... thaw, and drained them as thoroughly as possible. I also forgot to drop the little pieces of butter into the mixture before putting the top crust on, but I did brush the top with butter. Because my berries were really cold, it took a little more than twice as long to cook. I went to serve it 2 1/2 hours after taking it out of the oven, and it was still steaming hot when we cut into it. Everyone was gushing over how good it was. They said it was by far the best dessert they've had in a really really long time. I was completely stunned how good it was, I was certain the frozen berries were going to ruin it. It's more like a pie than a cobbler, but it was so good I plan to make it again and again, every chance I get.Read more
