Bring the blackberry mixture to a boil on top of the stove, stirring.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough carefully onto the boiling mixture, and bake the cobbler on a foil lined baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 400f oven for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
