Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cherries (fresh or frozen, pitted)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a similarly sized ovenproof dish.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cherries, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix well to coat the cherries evenly, then transfer them to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the cherries.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—you want a thick, slightly sticky batter.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the cherry mixture in the baking dish. Use a spoon or spatula to gently spread the batter, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!
