Simple Summer Berry Cobbler Recipe

It's that time of year...time to dust off the patio table and chairs, fire up the grill and celebrate summer with this Simple Summer Berry Cobbler Recipe!

Summer is my favorite time of year and it's not just the long, lazy hot days at the beach that bring a smile to my face...

Simple Summer Berry Cobbler Recipe

Though they are pretty nice!

One of my favorite things about summer is that somehow, magically, my family wants to load up on the fruits, veggies and grilled food during the summer months!

Maybe it's all that summertime heat that makes them enjoy fresh fruits and veggies more - all I know is that I'm grateful!

I love making fresh fruit salads, pies and cobblers during the summer. Pies and cobblers just scream "backyard bbq," don't they?

The problem with cobblers and pies is that they usually have a ton of sugar in them. Fruit is sweet enough, why do all of those recipes call for so much added sugar?

Fruit is nature's candy! 

A great way to alter those time-honored summertime recipes is by substituting SPLENDA® Sugar Blend for the sugar. Just make sure to check the conversion chart on the back of the SPLENDA® Sweeteners package, as it doesn't always convert cup for cup.

In this Simple Summer Berry Cobbler recipe, I replaced the 1 ½ cups of regular sugar with just ¾ cup of SPLENDA® Sugar Blend.

I really liked the way it turned out, it was still a sweet cobbler, but I felt better knowing that I wasn't adding on a ton of sugar.

Oh wait, I think it's missing something...

Maybe a little sugar-free or no-added sugar whipped topping?

YES, PLEASE.
