Pomegranate Vanilla Skillet Cobbler.
If you’ve ever wanted to fall face first into a pile of dessert…
Today would be the day.
Is it sacrilegious that I’m sharing a non-cookie dessert now that it’s December? It might be. But who cares! We have to eat non-cookie things.
I think.
Do we?
I mean…
It is the holiday season.
It’s the holiday season and I bought the most adorable advent/countdown to Christmas calendar for our family back in AUGUST and guess what? It’s still not hanging up yet.
I swore I wouldn’t be this person and I am now this person. Pinterest perfect life, where are you?
Okay, okay, in the case that you don’t want to eat cookies for breakfast, you can eat leftover pomegranate vanilla cobbler instead. Sound good?
I first saw this Donne Hay recipe for pomegranate cobbler last year. I’ve been dying to make it ever since but it just seemed so… holiday-y. I’m glad I waited, because it is a dreamy, easy skillet cobbler that is lovely this time of year.
But I’m also high annoyed at myself because HELLO it’s freaking fantastic. And why did I wait to long? In the universe now we can have pomegranate arils in May and find decent asparagus in October, so why the heck not.
The original recipe called for rhubarb, but if I’m being completely honest in our circle of trust here, rhubarb freaks me out. It kind of does.
Even if I’m wildly hypocritical at the moment because I’ve barely even tasted it. I’ve TASTED it but I’ve never cooked or baked with it. I’m officially the worst.
Anyway. That’s why I used berries. Frozen berries! To make your life easier. (read: to secretly make MY life easier.)
This dessert is SO delicious. The topping is like fabulous cake – a vanilla cloud studded with pomegranate jewels.
I’m thinking let’s all pretend it’s one giant cookie. YEP.
Pomegranate Vanilla Cobbler
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen berries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 pomegranates, seeds removed
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup 1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- powdered sugar for serving
- ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, stir together the berries, sugar and 1/2 cup pomegranate arils.
- Place the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, butter and vanilla beans in a food processor and pulse until the butter is in small crumbs. Stream in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until a dough comes together. It will be wet and sticky!
- Remove the dough and add it to a bowl. Fold in the remaining pomegranate arils.
- Place the sugared berries in a skillet. Top the mixture with the cobbler dough evenly. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Sprinkle the cobbler with powdered sugar and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Hello, festive dessert perfection!
This is gorgeous! Did you scoop out whipped cream with an ice cream scoop?? I love how it looks!
Holy crap, YES! This is just what my weekend needed, how’d you know???? Love it.

YUM!! Can I bake this ahead of time and warm up the next morning? Or should this be served immediately. Thanks!
I might have just found my Christmas dessert!!
Omg! I just love this! It’s not often that I see pomegranate used in baking so I’m already in love with this recipe for that alone. Who needs rhubarb anyway? Berries are so much more fun to work with!
This looks delish, but you MUST try rhubarb. Yea it’s kinda weird because it looks like celery, but it is so so good in a strawberry-rhubarb pie. And this summer I made some rhubarb ginger muffins which turned out great!
This is gorgeous!
These pictures are SO drool-worthy!! And frozen berries for the win – they’ve been getting me through my summer withdrawals. MUST try this!!
Yum! It looks beautiful and delicious!

I love skillet cookies but I’ve never thought to make one with any sort of fruit! Chocolate is my spirit animal. I would be willing to give this a go though, and thank you thank you thank you for cooking with frozen berries- I do all the time but feel like it’s my dirty little secret!
Omg! I haven’t had cobbler in forever and this looks soooo good. These photos are absolutely STUNNING too!!
I would fall face first into this dessert over and over again. Probably every day for the rest of my life. LOVE these flavors together!

And with a little effort I easily bring in £35/h and sometimes even as much as £85/h…Heres a good example of what I’m doing, …….>>>>> http://www.JobNews6.Tk

Very delicious and festive! Love it!
Yes I want to make this! Why is everything with pomegranate arils so beautiful!? xx
I simply like this! It’s rarely that I see pomegranate used in cooking so I’m already in love with this dish for that alone. Berries are so much more fun to work with!
I made this today and it would not cook for nothing. After 45 minutes it was raw. Then another 30, then another 15. There was so much fruit the dough will not cook. Sort of wasted two good poms on this one. Sorry, but it looks nice on top but the recipe is flawed IMHO.
Made this today and was delicious turned out really good would highly recommend
