Answers to Common Questions Asked About This Recipe

Can I make this a dark chocolate dessert?

Yep – just substitute dark chocolate cocoa powder. Pecans with the dark chocolate are especially good, too.

Why don’t I stir this recipe after I add the boiling water?

This is the magic step! Not stirring allows the brownie part of the cobbler to rise to the top and the pudding part to stay at the bottom as the dessert bakes.

How do I know when the brownie cobbler is done?

After the cobbler has been in the oven for about 25 minutes, it’s time to check it. If the cobbler looks like baked brownies on the top but still has batter at the top of the very center, bake it a little longer. Once the cobbler looks like baked brownies all across the top, it’s time to remove it from the oven.

The cobbler will have a saucy pudding on the bottom that thickens as it cools a bit. If you prefer a thicker pudding that’s not so saucy, bake the cobbler a bit more next time.

Is brownie cobbler like chocolate lava cake?

Definitely similar, but to me, brownie cobbler is much easier, quicker to make, and just a yummy.
