Nothing quite says “summer comfort” like a bubbling peach cobbler—especially one infused with the sweet nutty essence of coconut. Fresh peaches get nestled under a crumbly, golden topping, creating a dessert that’s simple yet sophisticated. If you’re looking for a treat that’s easy to whip up and crowd-pleasing, this cobbler might just be the one.
Ingredients
- 6 ripe peaches, sliced
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (plus more for sprinkling)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes
- ½ cup coconut milk (full-fat preferred)
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, toss the sliced peaches with the sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Arrange them evenly in a baking dish or cast-iron skillet, making sure their juices form a light syrupy layer at the bottom of the pan.
Next, shift your focus to the topping. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut in a separate bowl. Use your fingertips (or a pastry cutter) to work the cold butter cubes into the mixture until it resembles damp sand. Stir in the coconut milk gently—just until a soft dough begins to form.
Spoon the topping in little mounds over the peaches, leaving small gaps where pockets of fruit can peek through. Finish with a sprinkle of sugar on top to create a caramelized crust. Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping has taken on a warm golden brown hue. Let it cool just a bit before serving, so you don’t miss out on the velvety texture tucked underneath the crust.
Enjoy this cobbler hot from the oven with your favorite ice cream, a dollop of fresh whipped cream, or a sprinkle of extra coconut for good measure.
This dessert is a sweet reward for anyone craving a comforting taste of summer. It’s easily adapted to fit different dietary preferences—use non-dairy butter or a gluten-free flour blend, and you’ll still have a show-stopping treat. Whether it’s for a family dinner or a weekend brunch, this Sun-Kissed Coconut Peach Cobbler will charm taste buds with its playful twist on a satisfying classic.
