CHOCOLATE OREO COBBLER
If you’ve never had a Chocolate Cobbler before, after one bite you’ll be wondering where this dessert has been all your life. A warm brownie-like topping hides a rich and gooey fudge pudding filling, begging for a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. Now add a bunch of Oreos and you have the ultimate party dessert.
This tasty Chocolate Oreo Cobbler is made from scratch with no cake mix or instant pudding. This homemade cake batter is just as easy as a boxed mix chocolate pudding cake, ready for the oven in just 10 minutes. Plus since you are using pantry ingredients you have on hand, you can splurge on the real Oreos!
Chocolate Oreo Cobbler is unlike most cakes or cobblers you’ve ever made. There are 3 main steps layered instead of mixed, that come together for a gooey, chocolate filling and firm, yet chewy chocolate topping. It’s very important to not mix the layers, so be sure to spoon your batter and pour the hot water slowly.
Like most cakes, you don’t want to over-mix the dry and wet ingredients together in a Chocolate Oreo Cobbler. Over-mixing cake batter will make it denser and chewier, and your filling will be too thick in this cobbler. To make mixing easier, sift the dry ingredients before adding to remove any clumps.
This Chocolate Oreo Cobbler is an easy, cheap dessert for a crowd! Top a cooled Oreo Cobbler with Whipped Cream or Cool Whip sprinkled with crushed Oreos for a party dessert. For a weeknight dessert, Chocolate Oreo Cobbler is perfect with ice cream, either vanilla or go for Chocolate Ice Cream for a full chocolate craving fix.
