Cherry Cobbler with Mint Ice Cream

I love a good cobbler but I have no business making a full-sized cobbler when I don't have company. I will cozy up to the kitchen island and just dig in, with a carton of vanilla ice cream by my side. I'd be a happy little camper just scooping cobbler in my mouth.



So this way, I make just what I need, in this case, four 6 oz dishes,  which is enough for one each in my family.  We all have our cobbler but we aren't eating it for days. You can choose to make this in smaller, say 4 oz dishes, and it will make 6 desserts.  I only do that when I have extra company.

CHERRY COBBLER WITH ICE CREAM


Cherries are ripe and for sale in all our Farmers' Markets right now.  Which means they are plentiful, inexpensive and at their peak in flavor.  Cobblers are such comfort food, even in the summer.  My grandma taught me that a true cobbler has a biscuit crust. The sweet cream biscuits I make for this recipe have the perfect crumble, absorb the juice well, and hold up the ice cream so when it melts, it runs down into the cherry filling.  Oh my.

We also think the tart cherries are the best for a cobbler.  Montmorency cherries are the most common tart cherries.  We find that early season Bing cherries will also have a tarter taste.  The tart cherries balance the sugar in the filling and the biscuit.

Let's talk about that mint ice cream for a minute. I love to make unique ice creams for my desserts. I typically buy one carton of ice cream, divide it into thirds, and flavor up each third. I have containers that I put the ice cream in to refreeze. I'll take the carton out about 10 minutes before I am ready to serve to get it to the right consistency for scooping.

  2. My initial response is that cherry and mint don't go together. Yet, I've never tried it so I'll give it an honest effort. I do love cherry cobbler.

    1. I totally get what you are saying. Keep it to a light mint, and the freshness of the mint accents the cherries very well.
