Base Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 3 cups boiling water
- 3 ½ cups white granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup melted salted butter
- 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups white granulated sugar
Optional Garnish
- Mix the base: Add all of the base ingredients to your crockpot—except for the 2 cups of sugar and ½ cup of cocoa powder reserved for the topping—and stir until everything is smooth and well combined.
- Make the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups of sugar with ½ cup of cocoa powder. This mixture will form the gooey, fudgy sauce layer.
- Add the topping: Evenly sprinkle the sugar and cocoa powder mixture over the batter in the crockpot. Do not stir it in; leave it sitting on top as it will create a delicious sauce underneath while cooking.
- Let it cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or until the top looks set and firm but there is still molten chocolate goodness underneath.
- Serve and enjoy: Spoon the cobbler warm and gooey into bowls and top with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Do not stir the topping into the base mixture; sprinkling it on top creates the signature gooey sauce layer.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your crockpot model; check the cobbler after 3 hours to avoid overcooking.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with a plant-based milk and use dairy-free butter.
- Serving with vanilla ice cream enhances the warm cobbler with a cool creamy contrast.
