Southern Chocolate Cobbler (Page 3 ) | August 4, 2023

Annonce:

Some cobblers are thick-crusted and deep-dish with a top and bottom layer of crust, especially those in the South. However, this dessert is known all over the US as well as the UK and they aren’t always thick-crusted or deep-dish unless specifically described as a Southern cobbler.

Why is my cobbler gooey?
If you’re making a fruit cobbler with canned pie filling or canned fruit, the filling can be gummier and gooier than if you were to make a fruit-free Southern chocolate cobbler. If you’ve experienced this type of issue in the past when making cobblers with fruit, try this chocolate version instead. It should come out perfect and not gooey at all!

Can I make it ahead?
Yes, you can make it ahead. To warm it back up, give it about 10 minutes in the oven at 275°F.

How should I store chocolate cobbler?
Leftover cobbler (not that there is likely to be any!) can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep it in an airtight container.

Will this freeze?
It will lose some of its flavor and texture if frozen. However, if you do want to freeze it, wrap it in plastic wrap and then foil. Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

What is best to serve with a southern chocolate cobbler?
A generous scoop of ice cream is the perfect pairing with many southern recipes and this cobbler is no exception. If you prefer whipped cream, that is also great.

How can I tell when it is cooked?
When the top is firmly set and the sauce is bubbling up the sides, it is done. There are no eggs in the recipe so you don’t have to worry about a runny middle. Over-baking will make the center of it less fudgy and more cakelike.

Chopnotch Tips
Sift the flour through a sieve before using it, to ensure your cobbler comes out lump-free.
For maximum moisture and richness, use full-fat butter and milk.
Using a shallow baking dish? Put it on top of a baking pan to catch any sauce that bubbles over the top.
Feel free to add any other ingredients you like. Chopped caramel candies, white chocolate chips, or walnut halves would be nice in there.
To know when it is perfectly baked, check if the top is dry and has some cracks, while the edges should have tiny bubbling fudge sauce.
