This cherry rhubarb cobbler recipe is a delicious mix of flavors to celebrate the spring and summer growing seasons.

This gluten-free, dairy-free cherry rhubarb cobbler is a great combination of tart and sweet. It’s a delicious way to welcome the appearance of rhubarb during the springtime.

I love strawberry and rhubarb together, but there are so many other ways to go with rhubarb. This cobbler highlights several seasonal fruits, and the crumble topping is a delicious, nourishing addition.

Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler Tips

You can use any combination of cherries and berries to add flavor to this cobbler. I like to include mixed berries as well as cherries to complement the tart flavor of the rhubarb.

For the topping, sometimes I substitute shredded unsweetened coconut for the cornmeal.

This cherry rhubarb cobbler is delicious warm out of the oven, but it also tastes great at room temperature. Store the extras in the refrigerator, and reheat them briefly in the oven for a warm leftover dessert.

Top this cobbler with ice cream or whipped cream, or enjoy it plain. Coconut whipped cream is a delicious dairy free option. See my fruit pizza recipe for instructions about how to make coconut whipped cream.
