Vegan Blueberry Cobbler

by | Jan 10, 2014 | Desserts

For me, Vegan Blueberry Cobbler was the hit of the evening.

We were invited to the home of our friends, Kathleen and Dave, for dinner one evening. Eight people were going to be there and I, the only vegan! Kathleen was pondering over not only what to make for them, but also what vegan for me.

I always tell people I am happy with a salad. But I always get more. Anyway, all of the appetizers were vegan. She made traditional lasagna for the others and conceded and bought a ready-made vegan meal for me. Bless her heart. A true friend.

For dessert, she served this wonderful fresh-fruit dessert. It wasn’t originally vegan, but she made it so for me. Everyone loved it. I have since doubled it and made a few more changes to it. My family even loves it. And that’s saying something. A great summertime dessert. Here it is:
