The Cobbler That Stole My Chocolate-Loving Heart!

I’m a chocolate girl through and through. Brownies, warm cookies, anything rich and melty is my thing. My husband? He’s all about the fruit desserts. After my blueberry cobbler won him over, he started hinting for a peach version… and I couldn’t say no.

I tested batch after batch until it felt worthy of competing with chocolate. One bite with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and I was totally hooked.

Juicy peaches. Buttery cookie-like topping. Cold vanilla ice cream melting into the warm fruit. Swoon. It’s everything good about summer in one bowl…and honestly, it might even beat a chocolate chip cookie for me.

Ingredients

A few ingredients to note:

Peaches: Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. Grab some extras while you’re at it to make this fresh peach pie recipe!
Brown Sugar: It is satisfying to the flavor dark brown sugar adds but regular brown sugar works.
Cinnamon & Nutmeg: Adjust to your personal preference
Cornstarch: Stir gently to avoid lumps.
Butter: Let the melted butter cool to room temperature to prevent a greasy topping.
Turbinado Sugar: Use regular granulated sugar if you don’t have turbinado sugar.

Chunks, Not Slices For Peaches

Paring Knife Method: Peel skins with a paring knife, halve, remove the pit, and chop for this peach cobbler.
Blanching Method:
- For Unripe Peaches: Score an “X” at the bottom, blanch in boiling water for 60 seconds, then move to ice water. Once cool, peel off the skin with a paring knife.
- For Ripe Peaches: Blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, move to ice water, then peel off the skin when cool enough to handle.
