Wyoming Campfire Blueberry Cobbler on the Grill

Introduction

Capture the essence of summer in Wyoming with this rustic Campfire Blueberry Cobbler. Cooked entirely on the Arteflame grill, this dessert delivers rich blueberry flavor with a buttery golden topping. By taking advantage of the Arteflame’s wide flat cooktop and even heat zones, you’ll get a perfectly caramelized cobbler without using an oven.

Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 2 tbsp butter (for greasing the flat top)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the center of the Arteflame grill.
3. Stack firewood on top of the napkins and light the paper.
4. Let the fire heat up for about 20 minutes until the flat cooktop is hot and ready.

Step 2: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, combine fresh blueberries, white sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.

Step 3: Make the Cobbler Topping

1. In another bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the melted butter and milk, mixing until you get a thick batter.

Step 4: Cook the Cobbler on the Arteflame

1. Grease a section of the flat cooktop griddle with 2 tbsp butter towards the medium heat zone.
2. Spoon the blueberry mixture directly onto the greased griddle, forming a circular mound about 8 inches in diameter.
3. Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the top of the blueberry mixture.
4. Let it cook for about 20 minutes, reshaping gently with a spatula if necessary. The bottom will become beautifully caramelized while the top cooks through in the ambient heat.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Use two spatulas to gently lift and transfer the cobbler onto a serving tray. Let rest 5 minutes before scooping and serving.

Tips

• Cook closer to the outer-middle of the Arteflame griddle to avoid over-browning the bottom.
• Let the blueberry mixture rest before cooking to enhance flavor.
• If desired, top with vanilla bean ice cream or a drizzle of honey after grilling.
• Do not cover — the Arteflame grill and pizza oven are lidless for natural convection.
• Grilling on butter always enhances flavor over olive oil.

Variations

1. Peach Cobbler: Use sliced fresh peaches instead of blueberries and add a pinch of cinnamon to the mix.
2. Mixed Berry Cobbler: Combine blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for a sweet-tart flavor.
3. Maple Bourbon Cobbler: Add 1 tbsp bourbon and 1 tbsp maple syrup to the berries for depth and richness.
4. Apple Cinnamon Cobbler: Replace blueberries with thinly sliced apples, and add 1 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg.
5. Nutty Crunch Cobbler: Mix 1/4 cup chopped pecans into the crust batter for a crunchy texture.

Best pairings

• Smoked meats like hickory ribeye or grilled pork chops
• Vanilla bean ice cream
• Fresh mint tea or cold sweet tea
• Grilled peaches or caramelized pineapple
• Rustic Wyoming-style cornbread

Conclusion

This Wyoming Campfire Blueberry Cobbler showcases just how versatile the Arteflame grill can be — no oven required! With fresh fruit, a buttery topping, and that signature grilled finish, you’re in for a crowd-pleasing dessert that feels like home in the mountains.
