Cherry Cobbler Recipe

How To Make One Sweet Cherry Cobbler

This recipe comes from my friend Chef Achim Thiemermann, or "Chef Keem.".

Chef Keem has been a lensmaster for a little over a year and already has published over 100 lenses! Apart from that, he also sells amazing candies and has a line of flavored agave nectar that he sells on ebay and in Whole Foods in TX, CO, OK and LA.

As if all that weren't enough, he is also the Executive Chef for the Driftwood Lodge in SE Alaska. The man is a dynamo!

I have been fortunate enough to try some of Chef Keem's products. His Espresso Sea Salt Caramel Truffles are a wonderful treat, but I think the Agasweet, his flavored agave nectar, is so tasty and so versatile that I was inspired to create a recipe with it.

This is based on his wife's recipe for peach cobbler, and I have modified it to work with cherries. So, this one is for my new friend, Squidoo Lensmaster Chef Keem.

Instructions

For the Fruit

• Toss cherries with flour.
• Combine cherries and the rest of the ingredients in a sauce pan. Heat until it just comes to a boil. Turn off the heat and set aside.

For the Batter

• Whisk dry ingredients together very well. Whisk wet ingredients together. Whisk the wet into the dry until you have a relatively smooth batter.

For the Streusel

• Mix all ingredients together until crumbly.

To Assemble and Bake

• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Evenly pour the fruit mixture on top of the batter, juice and all.
• Sprinkle on the optional streusel. Use as much or as little as you'd like. Any leftover streusel mix can be frozen for another time.
• Bake in the center of the pre-heated oven until the filling is bubbling and the batter is deep golden brown and set.
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
