Last week, our neighbors came over with a container full of fresh raspberries picked from their garden. We had a few peaches that were very soft and Jeff wanted to make a fruit cobbler but we didn't really have a great recipe. He pulled out a few of our Southern Living Annual Cookbooks and found this Easy Berry Cobbler in the 2010 edition. We took the recipe and doctored it a little with some delicious fresh rather than frozen fruit.
Jeff wasn't sure how it was going to come out because it had such an odd combination of ingredients...mix sugar, flour and 1 egg, then put butter over the mixture. He was convinced this was going to be a disaster, but to our surprise it came out AMAZING! The crust was sweet and crunchy and the fruit was slightly tart, a perfect combination. Put some fresh whipped cream on top and you will think you died and went to heaven...it was that good.
I'm going to have to say, this is definitely the BEST dessert this summer. We hoarded the majority of the ramekins (OK, 4 out of 6) because isn't the rule - whoever makes the dessert, eats the dessert! And at our house, if you don't save a little extra for yourself (in other words, hide what you have), you will not see it past 24 hours.
Before the fresh peaches and raspberries disappear this season, try this dessert. You will find, like us, it's worth hiding.
