peach cobbler southern dessert

Peach cobbler is a classic Southern dessert that combines sweet, juicy peaches with a buttery, biscuit-like topping. This comforting dish is perfect for summer when peaches are in season, but it can be enjoyed year-round with frozen peaches.

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

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups fresh or frozen peach slices

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the peach slices with 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  6. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

What To Serve With It

I love serving peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream because it adds a cool, creamy contrast to the warm, fruity dessert.

Ice cream melts just right into the cobbler, making each bite even more delicious, while whipped cream gives it a light and fluffy touch.

You can’t go wrong with either, and sometimes I even use both for an extra treat!

Ice Cream

A scoop of ice cream is the perfect companion to peach cobbler, adding a cool, creamy contrast to the warm, gooey dessert.

I love using homemade ice cream because it feels extra special, and you can customize the flavor pairings to match your taste. Vanilla is a classic choice, but I’ve also tried cinnamon or honey-infused ice cream, which complements the peaches beautifully.

If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll even add a hint of almond extract to the mix. The combination of warm cobbler and cold ice cream creates a balance that’s hard to resist—it’s pure comfort in every bite.

Whipped Cream

Whipped cream makes a fantastic topping that can turn even the simplest desserts into something special. I love adding it to peach cobbler because it adds a light, creamy contrast to the warm, fruity filling.

Using homemade whipped cream is my go-to—it’s super easy to make and tastes so much better than store-bought. Just whip some heavy cream with a bit of sugar and vanilla until it’s fluffy.

You can also get creative with whipped cream toppings by adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Trust me, it’s a game-changer and makes every bite of peach cobbler feel extra indulgent.
