In the mood for all things chocolate when it comes to dessert? I’ve got your back with these delicious recipes for Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Bites, Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Salted Caramel Stuffed Double Chocolate Cookies. Great for a crew — Since this chocolate pudding cake cooks up in a larger dish, it’s perfect for serving to a group of four or more (depending on how much you want to share). Or, if you’re all family (or close friends) you can just hand everyone a spoon and scoop the chocolate dessert right out of the dish!Easy — No messing with souffles or individual dessert cups like you might see at restaurants or in other recipes. Go ahead and throw all these ingredients together (prep time is only 15 minutes!) and pop the dish into the oven while you eat dinner. The result is a delicious, warm chocolate cobbler recipe you’ll want to dig into the second it hits the table. Brownie top — You know how everyone loves the top of muffins? Well this chocolate cobbler is like that but instead of a muffin it has a brownie-like top. The inside has an ooey gooey fudge sauce texture and the top has the taste and texture of the brownie top — a moist and chewy chocolate brownie top! Flour — Any all-purpose flour brand will work in this chocolate dessert. Cocoa Powder — Use a good brand of cocoa powder in both layers — you’ll want to taste that chocolatey flavor, trust me. Baking Powder — Baking powder helps this dish to rise and make the cakey part more, well, cakey. Salt — Used in both the base and the top layer, just a little salt helps bring all the ingredients together in a baked good. Milk — Use 2% or whole milk if you have it. Butter — I use melted unsalted butter in this chocolate cobbler. Then I add salt as the recipe indicates. Brown Sugar — Light or dark brown sugar works here. I prefer dark but if you only have light you can use it — no need to run to the store. Boiling Water — You’ll want to add boiling water to this chocolate cobbler because the hot, hot water blooms the cocoa powder and keeps it soft and moist. It also brings out the chocolate flavor and helps keep it flavorful and moist for several days after you make it. Vanilla Extract — I prefer to use pure vanilla extract, but you can use imitation or use half and half — vanilla and almond for a slightly subtle nutty flavor. Ice Cream — Optional, but really, you’ll want to go ahead and have the ice cream with this chocolate pudding cake, trust me.
Expert Tips and Tricks
Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream (or another of your favorite ice creams) for the ultimate treat!
Keep this chocolate cobbler covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time until it reaches the desired temperature.
