There are endless ways to use fresh berries. From all-too-easy cobblers and colorful cakes to party-perfect salads and refreshing cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, you can enjoy a different berry recipe every day. And while the freshest, in-season fruit from the farmers' market makes all the difference when it comes to creating a dish with the most flavor, you can whip up many of these recipes all year round thanks to the grocery store's produce section. For some of the desserts, frozen berries can be used in a pinch as well. We promise you won't get tired of using berries, whether in main dishes or desserts, thanks to these 100 delicious dishes filled with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and cranberries.

This isn't your average cobbler. The light and airy cakey batter is scattered with strawberries across the top rather than fully mixed in so they get nice and roasted as the dish bakes. You can easily swap the strawberries out for any berry or stone fruit as well.
Blackberry-Buttermilk Sherbet
![Blackberry-Buttermilk Sherbet](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/O2DH-Lvt23O5IDsOI4BUR1gUPg8=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2687101_Black_0178_4x3-8f56e0526bfb4bd7a0ba3ab2dabb0a7d.jpg)

This layer cake is beautiful on the outside, but the real wow-factor is when you slice into it. A row of whole strawberries (with the tops sliced off) and whipped frosting is sandwiched between the two vanilla cake layers.

Star-shaped pastry makes this the perfect Fourth of July dessert, but you can just as easily cut the dough into any form. Refrigerated buttermilk biscuits make for an easy shortcut in this blueberry cobbler.
White Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

These luscious strawberries are super easy. If you have a microwave, you can make them in minutes. Melt chocolate and give strawberries a quick dip, and then let the coating harden before serving.

If you thought flaky buttermilk biscuits couldn't get any better, then think again. Juicy blueberries add a slight sweetness to the tender pastries.

This simple combination of strawberries, lemon, basil, and sugar is the key to so many fruit-forward desserts, but the sweet mixture is just as delicious when enjoyed on its own.

You won't have to lift a finger thanks to the fan-favorite pantry staple baking mix. Scatter macerated blackberries and any extra juice atop the batter and bake until golden and bubbly.
Peach-Raspberry Buckle

Not quite a crisp or crumble, this crumb-like cake is all about the fruit. In our version, half of the fruit is folded into batter while the other half is scattered on top which is what causes the cake to "buckle" as it bakes.
Strawberries-and-Cream Sheet Cake

You'll want to keep this sheet cake recipe on hand for birthday parties, showers, and summertime soirees. The pink-hued cake gets its color from fresh strawberries and strawberry-flavored gelatin.
Sallie Ann Robinson's Blackberry Dumplings

All you need is four ingredients to make this old-fashion dessert. You can make it all year round with frozen blackberries, but it's even better with fresh, in-season berries.
Strawberry Dump Cake

We don't call it a dump cake for no reason. The three ingredient recipe might only call for strawberry pie filling, a box of yellow cake mix, and butter, but we highly recommend sprinkling in fresh berries in addition.

Strawberries and chocolate are always a winning duo in our book, especially when paired with a creamy, custard-like chilled filling.
Raspberry Limeade Granita

Just blend fresh raspberries, lime juice, simple syrup, and water together then freeze for 4 to 5 hours. If you're throwing a party, spike the shaved ice with your favorite spirit.
Strawberry Vanilla Cake

Rich layers of pink-hued strawberry cake and creamy vanilla butter cream is the perfect pairing. Top it with juicy strawberries for a pretty finish.
