More than two pounds of fresh fruit are baked until bubbling to make this cobbler, found in Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Desserts. Nine portions of shortcake batter are placed on top, to make a massive dessert that's messy and fun.

Why this recipe works:

This recipe is super simple: toss the fruit in sugar, and use your food processor to make the dough. That's as labor-intensive as it gets.

Often, fruit cobblers don't feel fruity enough. The use of blueberries makes gobs of thick juice that are sopped up by the shortcake dough, with enough left over to stain the ice cream you serve it with.
