Berry Mexican Chocolate Cobbler
How many times have you purchased fresh berries and they spoil before you even open up the container? It happens to the best of us. As much as I try to not let it happen, unfortunately it does.
Once I notice berries are ripening faster than I can eat them, I freeze them, and save them for my morning smoothies.
I love berries — their vibrant colors, textures, and flavors. I usually purchase fresh berries, but when fall or winter comes around and fresh berries are not in their peak season it’s so lovely to pull some out of the freezer to enjoy the sweet taste of summer year-round.
If you do not have an abundance of berries in your freezer, do not fret — Cascadian Farm comes to the rescue. They have a package called Harvest Berries which is a heavenly combination of organically grown strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
Speaking of Cascadian Farm, I am so excited to announce that I will be traveling to Seattle to learn all about their products. I love field tours and cannot wait to learn all about their farm dedicated to bringing wholesome organic food to our tables.
There is something about berries that makes me nostalgic. This rustic cobbler reminds me of a dessert my grandma would make. Whenever she had any leftover fruit, fresh or frozen, she would make a simple cake mixture and would top it with fruit and bake it.
As a little girl, I never knew there was a name for her dessert – I just thought it was magical to see a wet mixture go into the oven and a beautiful baked dessert come out minutes later.
There is nothing fancy about this dessert – just a simple, classic cobbler that will bring back memories of the good old days.
This berry cobbler is amazing because it is made with frozen fruit, making it the easiest dessert I have ever made. The addition of Mexican chocolate, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract gives this dessert a Latin kick.
