Chocolate Cobbler is a Southern super easy no fail chocolate lovers dream come true. It is like a cross between a brownie and a hot fudge sundae. So grab a spoon and dig into that hot chocolate mess. Better yet top it with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream before you indulge in that baby.
Oh this Easy Chocolate Cobbler Recipe is just heavenly. It is one of my families favorites. It only takes just a few minutes to put it together and the results are well worth the effort. I love whipping this up for unexpected company. Everyone loves a decadent creamy chocolate pudding cake dessert.
How do you make Chocolate Cobbler?
Start by greasing the sides of an eight or nine inch square baking. You can also use an equivalent sized casserole dish as I did. Pour the melted butter in the bottom of the baking dish. Then in a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cocoa. Now stir in the milk and vanilla and spoon into the baking pan on top of the butter. However do not mix it in.
Then whisk together sugar, brown sugar and cocoa. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter in the pan. Again don’t mix in.
Finally pour that almost boiling water over the top. Again do not mix in. Bake for around thirty to forty minutes or until the center is mostly set. Please keep in mind that this is a ooey gooey dessert so the toothpick test does not work and it will not be completely set in the center. If desired serve a la mode.
Helpful tips for making this Chocolate Cobbler Recipe epic
- Use good quality cocoa. I personally prefer gourmet Dutch processed baking cocoa which I purchase from Costco.
- The added water should be brought just right up to a boil.
- Do not over-bake this cobbler. Since this dessert is a gooey chocolate mess it will only be semi set in the middle.
- This dessert is best served warm or at least at room temperature.
If you love chocolate this is a must. By the way who doesn’t love chocolate? Well what are you waiting for? Go get that darn spoon! I hope you and yours love this treat as much as we do!
