Chrysti Benner

Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Cobbler Batter:

  • 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

For Layering on Top:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used semisweet)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cup very hot water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease a deep dish pie plate (or an 8x8" baking dish). Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Bisquick baking mix, cocoa powder, and sugar.
  • Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk, stirring until combined.
  • Spread batter into prepared baking dish, then sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.
  • In a small mixing bowl, prepare the topping by whisking together the sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter and chocolate chips in the baking dish.
  • Pour very hot water over the top of everything in the baking dish. Do not stir!
  • Transfer dish to oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes. The center of the cobbler should be jiggly, but the top layer will be cake-like (it will be like a layer of cake with jiggly pudding-like sauce underneath).
  • Remove from oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes, which will allow the sauce to thicken a bit as it cools. Then scoop and serve the cobbler warm, topping with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

  • If the cobbler filling (the pudding-like sauce) is a little too runny for your preference, just let the cobbler cool some more. The sauce thickens up as it cools.
  • I prefer to serve the cobbler warm. If needed, you can microwave leftovers to warm it up.
  • This is a pretty rich dessert, so a little bit goes a long way!
  • If you don't have chocolate chips on hand, you can omit them. They just add some additional sweetness and deeper chocolate flavor, but aren't necessary. You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts if you'd like!
