Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar granulated
  • cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder divided
  • cups pecans chopped
  • 2 cups hot (simmering) water

Toppings:

  • pecans and vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • While the oven is preheating, add butter to a 9x13 casserole dish, and place it in the oven to melt-about 3-4 minutes. Once melted, remove the dish and set it aside.
  • Stir together granulated sugar, flour, and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder. Add milk and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour batter mixture over butter. Do Not mix the butter with the batter.
  • Combine brown sugar and remaining cocoa powder and pecans. Sprinkle over the batter.
  • Slowly pour hot water carefully over the top. Do Not stir.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cobbler is set on top.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and chopped pecans, if desired.

Notes

Note: After 35-40 minutes, the top will be cracked, and the center will be slightly jiggly. Allow to set and cool for 15 minutes before serving. This allows the center to thicken. 
Serve this Chocolate Pecan Cobbler with a scoop of ice cream for a decadent treat! This rich chocolate dessert is definitely a crowd-pleaser.
