Instructions
-
Prepare the Berries: If using frozen berries, thaw them but do not drain. This will help retain their natural juices, enhancing the cobblerโs flavor. In a medium bowl, combine the berries with 1/4 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Melt the Butter: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). In a 9×9-inch baking pan, melt 1/3 cup of unsalted butter in the oven while it preheats. This will create a golden base for your cobbler.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, and baking powder until well combined. Add the milk and stir until a smooth batter forms.
-
Assemble the Cobbler: Once the butter has melted, remove the baking pan from the oven. Pour the batter into the pan over the melted butter; do not stir, as the batter will naturally form a beautiful layer beneath the berries.
-
Add the Chocolate & Berries: Drizzle the top of the batter with your favorite chocolate syrup. Then, spoon the undrained berry mixture evenly over the top. The berries will settle into the batter as it bakes, creating a delicious fruit topping.
-
Bake the Cobbler: Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. The cobbler can be enjoyed on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Additional Tips
- Berry Variations: Feel free to mix and match different berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries, based on your preferences or whatโs in season.
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the berry filling and batter the day before and store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, simply assemble and bake as directed.
- Add a Crunch: For a bit of texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts, like pecans or almonds, over the top before baking.
This simple yet decadent Chocolate Berry Cobbler brings together the best of sweet, tart berries and rich, gooey chocolate. With only a few ingredients and minimal prep, it’s the perfect dessert for any occasion.
