Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 1/2 cups (1065 ml) fresh sweet cherries, pitted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch clove
- 1 1/3 cups (315 ml) all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 5 Tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
- 2/3 cup (150 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (237 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2-3 Tablespoons confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon bourbon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Add the heavy cream and mix just until the batter comes together.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cherries, cinnamon, and clove.
- Pour the cherries into the bottom of the serving dish, spreading into an even layer.
- Divide the dough into 4 even pieces, shape into balls, flatten slightly, and place over the fruit. Alternatively, roll out the dough (using flour to prevent sticking), cut into circles with a biscuit cutter, and lay over the top.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- In a clean bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and whip at high speed until you get soft peaks.
- Add the confectioners sugar and bourbon, whip for one minute more to incorporate.
- Serve the whipped cream on top.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a high-quality bourbon in the whipped cream.
- If fresh cherries are unavailable, frozen cherries work well – just be sure to thaw and drain them completely before using.
- Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the whipped cream is best served fresh.
