BEST BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a large bowl) until combined. Add butter and process (or cut in using a pastry blender or two forks) until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, if needed, and add heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, mixing with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together. Pat dough into a square on work surface and cut into 9 equal squares.
• Whisk together cinnamon, granulated sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Add berries; toss gently to coat. Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Top berries with dough squares, spacing evenly. Brush dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. To catch any juices that may bubble over when baking, place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and fitted with a wire rack or lay a piece of foil on the rack below the cobbler. Bake until berries are bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, 50 to 75 minutes. If biscuits are browning too quickly, tent with foil. Transfer dish to a wire rack and let cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Prepare berry filling: Mix 3 cups berries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently and crushing berries with the back of a spoon, until mixture is about half liquid, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Prepare crust: Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with two knives or a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Pack 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set remaining crust mixture aside.
• Prepare cream cheese filling: Blend cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Spread cream cheese mixture over the crust, then sprinkle remaining 3 cups uncooked berries over top. Top with the cooked berry-sugar mixture and crumble the remaining crust mixture over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top crust is lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
