Black Forest Cobbler
So I’ve really been craving cobbler lately, not sure why, but I made two last weekend, plus a crisp!
Now, I’m not talking about a standard ole’ Peach Cobbler, though there’s nothing wrong with that.
I’m changing your idea of cobbler up a little with this amazing Black Forest Cobbler.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I kind of love black forest.
Last year I made Black Forest Cupcakes and made Black Cherry Bourbon Hot Chocolate reminiscent of one of those gorgeous German cakes!
Oh and I’ve totally been daydreaming about these Black Forest Waffles from Baking a Moment, I can’t get enough of Allie’s stuff, check her out!
Anyways, back to this cobbler, because it deserves A LOT of attention.
The crust in itself is incredible (rich like a brownie), then add the cherry filling made with fresh black cherries and top it all with the perfect homemade whipped cream… oh lord, I’m done for.
I know what you’re thinking, chocolate and cherries don’t exactly scream summer.
Well let me tell ya, cherries are in season right now and you can never go wrong with chocolate, am I right?
If you’re still not convinced this is the perfect summer cobbler, scoop some ice cream on it, that should do the trick.
So go, go fast and get this thing in the oven.
Your whole family will love you for it, if you find it in your heart to share, that is.
