I came up with this recipe to make something special for my family for Valentine's Day. It was such a huge hit that we have made it two times after so far. It is so decadent and delicious and pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Chocolate Cobbler
1 3/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. boiling water
1 c. flour
1 c. mini chocolate chips
1/2 c. whole milk
6 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
6 T. melted butter
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Pour your melted butter into an 8"x8" square cake pan. Now in a medium sized bowl, stir together 3/4 cups of your sugar, the flour, milk, baking powder, salt and just 2 T. of your cocoa powder. After it is stirred well, pour this mixture over the butter.
It is okay to leave it like it looks above. You don't have to stir it together or anything. It will turn out correctly like this. Now, in another medium sized bowl, mix together the 1 cup of sugar that remains, along with the mini chocolate chips and the remaining 4 Tablespoons of cocoa powder. After it is mixed together, just kind of sprinkle this all over the butter and cocoa mixture in the pan.
Now, just slowly pour the boiling water over the top of the cobbler. You do not need to stir or anything, just be sure the water has kind of dampened the top well. Now slowly and gently place the pan in the oven for exactly 28 minutes. When you remove it from the oven, you will see a LOT of liquid and question whether it is done or not but please trust me and remove it from the oven and set it on a level area.
We do NOT allow it to cool before we begin scooping it up. Use a large serving spoon and dip up some of the cobbler and the sauce. You can eat it like this and it starts off being a chocolate sauce but as you eat it, the sauce thickens into a luxurious chocolate pudding that will set your taste buds alive.
Now if you want a real treat top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you will drool and your mouth will water over how good the flavors meld together. Enjoy!
This looks and sounds delicious. I won't be trying for some time though as my husband is on a strict 30 carb a meal diet.
