- Add the fruit on top without stirring.

Tips & Substitutions
For a variation, consider using almond milk instead of regular milk for a nutty flavor. You can also substitute the fruit with seasonal options like fresh berries or peaches for a twist. If you want a richer taste, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Make sure to not overmix; a few lumps are okay for a tender texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert. It pairs beautifully with Fullabull'S Coconut Sheath Cake for a delightful dessert spread at gatherings. You can also enjoy it as a sweet breakfast treat alongside coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This maintains the cobbler's texture without making it soggy.
