A Note from Cleo

Pour-over cobblers are quite common and you can find many versions on the inter-web: some use fruit like strawberries or peaches, others use nuts and additional ingredients and toppings.

Many years ago, one of my very kind Coffeehouse Mystery readers, Alicia Farage, left a comment on my Facebook page (and, by the way, everyone is welcome to follow me on Facebook, too). She told me she enjoyed the chocolate version of this cobbler, and that gave me an idea. Starting with the basic plain chocolate recipe, I created my own adapted version, which pays tribute to one of my all-time favorite cookies, chocolate chip. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks again to Alicia for the foodie inspiration...

Chocolate Chip Cobbler

INGREDIENTS

Chocolate topping

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

Cobbler batter

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup flour
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or block chocolate, chopped)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup milk

Into 9-inch cake pan
4 Tablespoons butter

Final liquid layer
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup freshly brewed coffee (You won't taste the coffee;
it works to deepen the chocolate flavor)

DIRECTIONS

Step 1: Create chocolate topping — Mix sugar and cocoa in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 2: Create cobbler batter — Stir together sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate), vanilla, and milk. Mix until all ingredients are well blended but do not over mix the batter or you’ll develop the gluten in the flour and toughen the end product. (Set this batter aside.)

Step 3: Melt butter in cake pan — Place the butter in a 9-inch cake pan. Put into a preheated 350º F. oven. Once butter has melted, carefully remove pan.

Step 4: Simmer water + coffee — Place water and coffee in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.

Step 5: Assemble layers...

Into the pan with the melted butter,
pour in the cobbler batter that
you made in Step 2. Do not stir.

Sprinkle the chocolate topping (from Step 1)
over the batter. Do not stir.

Finally, pour the hot water and coffee
mixture over it all (do not stir).

Step 6: Bake and serve — Bake for 20 to 30 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 350º F. Do not over cook! Cobbler is done when the batter is baked and no longer doughy. Do not bake it so long that everything in the pan hardens. Liquefied chocolate should be bubbling up through the baked cobbler like a Willy Wonka primordial swamp. (This is perfect!) While still warm and magnificently gooey, spoon into bowls, serve with ice cream or whipped cream, and...eat with plenty of joy!
