The blackberry filling is deliciously tart, in part due to some lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Not to mention, I just LOVE the color it imparts after it comes out of the oven and the delicious juices that ooze out.

To make the topping even more interesting, special, and of course, delicious, I added chopped hazelnuts. Who doesn’t love hazelnuts? It makes all the difference and I would strongly encourage you not to skip it.

With Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, serve it up as a sweet treat after brunch and everyone can scoop out as much or as little as they want.

Whether you serve it a la carte or a la mode, this cobbler will make a beautiful dessert at your celebration with very little effort.

    Patty, this looks phenomenal!! Until I finish my degree, I’m living apart from my fiance, so small batch desserts like this are perfect right now. I love that you added hazelnuts too – what an unexpected twist!
