What type of cocoa powder should I use in chocolate cobbler?
While you can use any unsweetened cocoa powder you prefer, I like to use Dutch-process cocoa powder here because there isn’t any baking soda to neutralize the acidity of natural cocoa powder.
How long does chocolate cobbler keep?
This chocolate cobbler can be made ahead of time and then easily heated up in the oven to serve. It will keep well covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It’s a great choice if you are planning to serve it as part of a big feast.
Can I freeze chocolate cobbler?
Yes! If you have leftovers (unlikely!) or want to make this further ahead of time, freezing is a great option. Let the cobbler cool completely before covering with foil and placing in a Ziplock bag. It will keep well for up to 3 months, and should be thawed in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
How should I serve chocolate cobbler?
Although this can be enjoyed cold, this dessert is best served warm. I like to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, though whipped or table cream will both make excellent accompaniments as well.
