Prepare Baking Dish: Butter a 9x13x2 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter. This ensures your cobbler won’t stick! 🧈
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of butter with the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. This creates a fragrant, spiced mixture that will flavor the cobbler beautifully! 🥣
-
Add Buttermilk: Slowly pour in the buttermilk while stirring. Continue mixing until you have a smooth batter.
-
Layer Sweet Potatoes: Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. 🍠
-
Bake Until Set: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cobbler is set. You can check by inserting a knife—it should come out clean, though the cobbler will still be moist. 😋
-
Cool and Chill: Allow the cobbler to cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour. This helps the flavors meld together for an even tastier treat! ❄️
-
Serve: When you’re ready to indulge, reheat individual squares in the microwave. Top each square with a generous scoop of cinnamon ice cream for a creamy contrast. Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra sweetness and garnish with fresh berries—blueberries and raspberries work beautifully! 🍨🫐
Notes & Tips
-
Make Ahead: You can prepare the cobbler ahead of time and simply reheat when ready to serve. It’s a convenient option for entertaining!
-
Ice Cream Alternative: If you prefer, you can serve this cobbler with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of cinnamon ice cream. 🍦
-
Fresh Berries: The addition of fresh berries not only adds a burst of color but also a refreshing contrast to the rich sweetness of the cobbler. Feel free to mix and match with your favorite berries or use what’s in season! 🍓
-
Storage: Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
This Sweet Potato Cobbler is a true crowd-pleaser, perfect for holidays like Thanksgiving or any gathering where you want to impress with a taste of Southern hospitality. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors and the joy it brings to your table! 🥧✨
