Between these mini cobblers and this Mixed Berry Cobbler we’ve been in cobbler heaven this summer. I mean what’s better than bubbling-hot, fresh fruit that swirls around the golden brown edges of the cookie dough-like topping?! It’s a dream come true, especially with a big scoop on vanilla ice cream right on top! And if you have a ton of peaches on your hands that you’re trying to use up, make sure to check out my Peach Galette and Peach Salad too!
Why this recipe works
The peaches are peeled using the boiling water method. A pinch of cinnamon is added to help amplify the natural flavors of the peaches. Ripe peaches are used for the very best results! These couldn’t be easier to prepare in the ramekins. It’s the perfect dessert for 4!
Fresh peaches: more than anything, we want the cobbler to taste like ripe summer peaches in our cobbler. Be sure to find the very best ones, maybe at your local farmers’ market. I also like to dice my peaches, they fit nicely in the ramekins and on my spoon better that way. ☺️ Butter: You’ll need some butter to bring together the cookie dough like topping and a little to place down in each ramekin before spooning the peaches in. Sugar: My recipe calls for a mix of brown and white sugar. Depending on how ripe your peaches are, you can use less sugar so it doesn’t steal the show from those amazing peaches you found! Lemon Juice: the lemon juice and zest is key to giving it a tart and refreshing flavor. It brightens the taste of the cobbler. Cinnamon: if you feel like the cinnamon makes the dessert taste too much like Fall, you can omit or use a little fresh nutmeg or even cardamom. Vanilla Extract: to add flavor. Flour: I used an all purpose flour to bring together the topping. I haven’t tested this recipe with other flours. Cornstarch: this helps to make the juices syrupy when baking. Vanilla ice cream (optional but highly recommend for topping)
