The recipe is simple, requiring minimal ingredients and effort, making it a go-to treat for family gatherings or weeknight desserts.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups fresh or frozen peach slices

4. Stir in melted butter and milk until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Peach cobbler is a delicious dessert that combines sweet peaches with a buttery crust. Here’s a breakdown of its nutritional content per serving:

What To Serve With It

I love serving warm peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—it melts perfectly into the sweet peaches. Sometimes, I’ll top it with a dollop of homemade whipped cream for a lighter, creamy finish. Both options make the dessert feel extra special and complete.

Ice Cream Pairings

There’s nothing quite like a scoop of cold, creamy ice cream to complement the warm, gooey goodness of peach cobbler. I’ve tried so many ice cream flavors with it, and vanilla always feels like a classic winner—its smooth simplicity lets the peaches shine. But don’t be afraid to mix it up! Salted caramel or cinnamon ice cream can add a fun twist. When it comes to dessert presentations, I love serving the cobbler in a bowl, topped with a generous scoop melting slightly over the edges. It’s not just dessert; it’s an experience. Trust me, you’ll want seconds.

Whipped Cream Options

While ice cream’s a fantastic match for peach cobbler, whipped cream’s another classic that can’t be overlooked. I love how its light, fluffy texture balances the warm, gooey cobbler. You’ve got options with whipped cream types—homemade, canned, or even flavored ones like vanilla or cinnamon. For topping variations, try adding a sprinkle of nutmeg, a drizzle of caramel, or a handful of toasted nuts. Sometimes, I’ll fold in a bit of mascarpone for extra richness. It’s all about making it your own. Trust me, a dollop of whipped cream can turn a simple cobbler into something truly special.
