Mixed Berry Cobbler with Cream Cheese Filling image

A big hit at summer parties! I like to buy strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries when they go on sale and freeze them to put in this mixed berry cobbler, but it is also delicious with blueberries, cherries, or even rhubarb or peaches.

Ingredients

6 cups mixed frozen berries, thawed, divided
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare berry filling: Mix 3 cups berries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently and crushing berries with the back of a spoon, until mixture is about half liquid, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Prepare crust: Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with two knives or a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Pack 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set remaining crust mixture aside.
Prepare cream cheese filling: Blend cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Spread cream cheese mixture over the crust, then sprinkle remaining 3 cups uncooked berries over top. Top with the cooked berry-sugar mixture and crumble the remaining crust mixture over top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top crust is lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
