Easy Chocolate Cobbler Recipe – Immaculate Bites

Chocolate cobbler for any occasion

Chocolate cobbler is another dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, formal or casual. It’s easy to make with simple ingredients and is ready in no time. Serve with ice cream for a refreshing treat on a hot summer’s day. Conversely, a warm, gooey cobbler is super comforting on a cold winter’s night.

Ingredients List

1. Dry ingredients – All-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and salt create a wonderful dessert that is somewhere between a cake and a pudding.
2. Semisweet Chocolate Chunks or chips add extra chocolate richness to the cobbler’s sticky base, and using 60% or more cocoa gives you the richest chocolate taste.
3. Unsweetened cocoa powder Make both the chocolate-flavored cobbler and its toppings.
4. moisture – Milk and butter are the classic cobbler cake ingredients that add richness and texture. A spoonful of vanilla extract adds extra chocolate aroma and flavor (how is that even possible?!) 🤯
5. Shoe store topping – White and brown sugar not only add sweetness but also crystallize to create a crunchy topping, cocoa powder makes it even more chocolatey, and hot water works its magic.

How to Make Chocolate Cobbler

• preheat Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• dry material – Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• melt chocolate Place in a small bowl and microwave in 20 second intervals until melted. (Photos 1-2)
• liquid – Mix the cocoa powder, milk and vanilla extract together until well combined. (Photo 3)
• assemble – Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the chocolate mixture and melted butter. Stir until you get a thick batter.
• pour Place in a small, ungreased, high, 8-inch rectangular baking dish. (Photo 4)
• topping – In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the chocolate mixture. Do not stir. (Photos 5-6)
• Finishing touches – Gently pour the boiling water over the mixture. Again, do not stir. Place a baking sheet in the oven and place the chocolate cobbler on it in case the batter spills over while baking. (Photos 7-8)
• bake Let sit for 30-35 minutes or until top is set.
• serve – Carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Recipe Variations

1. Gluten FreeMake a gluten-free chocolate cobbler by using your favorite gluten-free baking flour in place of all-purpose flour.
2. A twist of flavour. For an extra indulgent treat, add toffee: Add about half a cup of crushed toffee to the brown sugar and cocoa powder mixture and place on top of the cobbler. Then pour boiling water over it.
3. Extra CrunchAdding chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough or topping gives it a more complex texture. How about a Chocolate Pecan Cobbler?

Tips and Tricks

1. For a deep, rich chocolate taste, use high-quality chocolate (bar or chips) with a cocoa content of 60% or more. Avoid lower-quality chocolate or chocolate-flavored chips, as they can taste artificial and affect the overall texture of the cobbler. 🍫
2. Chocolate cobbler tastes best when it’s warm, when the sauce is creamy and the cake is soft.
3. A note on the science of cobblers: using cold or hot water isn’t enough — only boiling water creates the soft crust underneath and the perfectly crisp, shiny, crunchy surface layer.

Preliminary steps

For a stress-free dessert experience, prepare your cobbler dough and toppings ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake, assemble the dish as you normally would. Bring the dough to room temperature ahead of time for easier pouring.

How to serve and store

Serve your freshly baked cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you want to make it even tastier, add some whipped cream or enjoy both! 🤤

Leftover cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or frozen wrapped in plastic or in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

To thaw, leave the cobbler in the refrigerator overnight – it may become a little watery but will still be delicious, or warm in the microwave for a few seconds or in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
