Description

Indulge in a decadent Black Fruit and Valrhona Chocolate Cobbler, where rich chocolate pastry meets the deep flavors of black plums, grapes, and tart cherries.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 cups (1.1kg) mixed black fruit, halved or sliced (black plums, seedless black grapes)
  • 1/4 cup (38g) dried tart cherries
  • 1/2 cup (100.6g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tsp (12.6g) cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk
  • 4 oz (113g) Valrhona chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush individual ramekins with melted butter to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mixed black fruit, dried tart cherries, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the fruit is well coated.
  3. Divide the fruit mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Add the melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped Valrhona chocolate.
  6. Spoon the chocolate mixture over the fruit in each ramekin, spreading it out to cover the fruit completely.
  7. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chocolate topping is set and slightly crisp.
  8. Allow the cobblers to cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, consider using a dark ale like Ommegang’s Art of Darkness Ale as a pairing. The cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving for the best experience. Substitute Valrhona chocolate with any high-quality dark chocolate if unavailable.
