Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup water

Toppings

  • ¾ cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
  2. Melt Butter in Skillet: Place 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and put it into the preheated oven until the butter is completely melted, creating a rich base for the cobbler.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of flour, ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder, ensuring the mixture is well blended and free of lumps.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour 1 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined, ready for baking.
  5. Pour Batter into Skillet: Take the skillet out of the oven carefully, pour the prepared batter into it, and spread it evenly using a spatula or knife for an even bake.
  6. Add Toppings and Water: Evenly sprinkle ¾ cup mini marshmallows and ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks over the batter, then gently pour 1 cup of water over everything to help create the moist cobbler texture.
  7. Bake Cobbler: Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the marshmallows on top have turned golden brown, indicating it's fully cooked.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the cobbler warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream, extra marshmallows, or drizzled melted chocolate for an indulgent treat.
  9. Store Leftovers: Cover any remaining cobbler tightly and refrigerate for up to three days to keep it fresh for later servings.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chunks instead of semi-sweet.
  • Make sure the butter is fully melted before adding the batter for even cooking.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance the dessert’s creaminess.
  • You can substitute whole milk with a plant-based alternative to make the recipe dairy-free, though texture may slightly vary.
  • Leftovers are best reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
