Chocolate Cobbler.
I don’t have many words about this concoction. I mean, chocolate cobbler?
The main thing is that I love cobblers – when I discovered there was such a thing as chocolate cobbler? Just about lost my marbles. For real. How could something so wonderful exist? Whoever created this recipe had me in mind. No doubt.
First, I imagined pieces of chocolate and your typical “dough.” Never did I think it was 100% chock full of chocolate goodness.
Clearly I couldn’t contain myself.
I ate most of it right out of the dish.
Though it is fabulous when hot and mixed with cold ice cream.
And not only is is scrumptious, but it is so easy. Ā It’s fast too.
It’s oooey and gooey and fudgy but in the BEST way possible. You have to let it sit for a bit right after baking in order for it to set, but when you serve it? It melts in your mouth. And topped with vanilla ice cream… oh my word. No words!
There is only one way I can describe this dessert: batter. It is like brownie batter or cake batter, mixed with fluffy cake and chewy brownies all in one.
It might be the most sinful dessert I ever made. My thighs agree. This is one of those desserts you make when you want something RICH. Like when you are serving simple salads for dinner and still have a lot of room left for dessert and might have had an extra glass of wine. It is exactly what you want coming out of your oven for dessert, trust me.
I mean… can you even stand this?!

when does oil, sugar and cocoa powder ever NOT taste good?! i mean hello..this looks fabooooosh!!! i want it now!
the crazy thing is, this is VEGAN. all you need to do is use nondairy milk (almond, soy,or even water) and it’s vegan. This is why when ppl automatically assume vegan = health food, you can prove them wrong right here!
Ah I’m so excited about this post! I’m actually not a fan of peach or anything cobbler because my taste for fruit is so limited, I know I’m weird. But this looks so good, I’m definitely going to try it out.
daaamn!!!!! It’s foodgasmic.
oh, and I have ALL the ingredients to make this right now. sha-POW.
Your recipes make me lose my marbles every single day. How about banana chocolate cobbler? mmmm
Whoa…that looks DELICIOUS. I am seriously drooling over this one! I can’t wait to try it out.
ooooh yummo! This looks like a perfect wintery dessert :) So rich and comforting!
Holy. clearly it was a BAD idea to come to your website while I’m trying to lose weight!
That looks AMAZING.
I know I say that a lot, but it’s always true.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm yum!

Looks blissfully delicious!
YUM! We called this hot fudge pudding cake growing up and I love it so much. I also know how to make both a cinnamon & chocolate chip version. Let me know if you’re interested!
Can I put melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder?
This looks awesome. I am a terrible, terrible baker. I WILL burn anything I bake every time. You’re lucky you can bake and not burn.
Do you suppose it would work if you threw chocolate chips in as well? Not that you’d need them…but hey…if you’re gonna go for the gold….
Oh, wow. That looks so dangerous. You are killing me! I want it NOW! But it may have to wait for this weekend… counting down the days…
Ohhhh. and Ahhhhhh! I LOVE anything chocolate and that looks scrumptious!!!
Oh wow… I am not even sure what to say. Looks amazing!
hahah love what you said about your thighs! LOL. yeahh girl! that looks INCREDIBLE
All this time and I never knew! It looks amazing.
Only you are brave enough to come up with something as well, slightly gluttoneous as this. Lol I just saw the title I shook my head a little. It looks fabulous!
It looks like a brownie, but a reallly good brownie!!
YUM x 100! A chocolate addict’s dream drug!
Oh yes…that hits the spot!!
BTW- I know you’re fixation with bacon {I’m a fan too}, I just made a dish with bacon…gotta check it out!!
Oh my goodness, that looks so good!
Just arrived at your site… Great blog Jessica!

Seriously!!!!! This is getting made TODAY! I just need to run to the store and get milk. Then it’s going to be ovah! LOL Thanks!
Oh my, I love this, my grandma used to make this on Sundays when we’d go eat at her house. Here’s the thing, double (at least) the 2 Tbsp cocoa in the batter (cocoa has protein, fiber, and not much fat, so ummm, that makes it healthier right?), and sub boiling whole milk for the water in the final step—-so much worse for you, but sooooo yummy!
I am on a major chocolate kick right now – so HECK yeah!!!!
That sounds good and chocolaty.
Oh my. I almost died when I saw these pics! Can’t wait to make it and thanks so much for sharing (and making me drool haha).
Oh my good golly! This look heavenly!!!!

I made this last night and I didn’t like it that much… I can see that it would be much better with vanilla ice cream though. I could taste the flour too much.
I tried this too. Something is off with this recipe. It does not turn out right. It is too thick and you cannot ‘pour’ it into the pan. It came out with a thick cake-like batter. It is a good recipe, but I have had more success in the past with this one: https://www.hersheys.com/recipes/recipe-details.aspx?id=4761
Hey, just wanted you to know that I nominated you for a blog award :)

Holy chocolatey goodness! This looks to die for!!
I can almost imagine the heavenly scent of this coming out of the oven..and of course I am trying to imagine how yummy it would taste too! ;-)

Looks FANTASTIC! You’ve made one stressed out college kid truly happy. How many servings does the recipe make?
Thanks! It really depends… I say about 4-6, but it depends on the size of the servings. ;)
This recipe looks and sounds so delicious…will you please give me an idea of how big of a baking vessel to use? You wrote that you used an 8 inch oval..but was it one quart…two quarts..might one use an 8 inch cake tin…? Thank you for any help you can give me…I really want to make this dessert as I am a true chocolohic…
The original recipe calls for an 8 inch square baking dish, so I think a cake tin would work too!
Wow! Looks great! Definitely will have to try the recipe! Thanks for sharing.

Whaaaaa?!! You just shocked me. I saw this on your list of favorite chocolate things and this was the only thing that really screamed, sighed and moaned my name. Thank you so much for exciting me to pieces. Bookmarked! :D
Oh my gosh! This looks absolutely delicious.
Usually i bookmark those recipes i want to make in the near future (especially since my printer is broken), but this one i not only bookmarked, i just wrote out in long hand!
My niece treats herself to chocolate one time a month. I know what i’m making her for her next chocolate fix!
BTW, do you have a fantastic, favorite, chocolate chip cookie recipe?
Yes! The NY Times Chocolate Chip Cookies are my favorite: http://www.howsweeteats.com/2010/08/24/forgive-me/

This looks SOOO good!
Do you think you could sub in 1 cup whole wheat flour for the white flour?
I haven’t tried it personally, but I would think it would be fine. Whole wheat pastry flour (as opposed to regular whole wheat) may be better and less gritty. Let me know if you try!
I used the whole wheat flour.
Verdict?
Delicious
“My thighs agree” :P
Woohoo!
