Ingredients:
2 cups fresh or canned cherries (pitted)
1 cup sugar (adjust according to sweetness preference)
1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
1 tablespoon milk (for icing)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). - Prepare the Cherry Filling:
In a saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside. - Make the Cobbler Dough:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in the softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth batter forms. - Assemble the Cobbler:
Spread the cherry mixture evenly in a baking dish. Then, drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough over the top of the cherries. Don’t worry about covering every inch; it’ll spread as it bakes. - Bake the Cobbler:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling. - Prepare the Icing:
While the cobbler is baking, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make the icing. The consistency should be thick but pourable. Set aside. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once the cobbler is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Drizzle the icing generously over the top. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
Tips:
You can use frozen cherries if fresh ones aren’t available. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before use.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough mixture.
This dessert can be served as an afternoon treat or as a sweet finish to a dinner party.
